This verse doesn’t imply there is more than one God. Aside from the suggestion that this refers to the three persons of the Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, it is also possible to give the interpretation that this is a reflection of the conceptual image the Jews had of God.

This was why he was called Elohim<\/i>, which is the plural for the singular El<\/i> (God), and this may be an ancient remnant, or a particular place of expression, where God’s action\/nature as non-singular was emphasized.
