A Glimpse of the Trinity

Commentators overwhelmingly point to the shift from "Whom shall I send?" (singular) to "who will go for us?" (plural) as a significant revelation. While some have suggested this is a "royal we," scholars note this was not a practice of ancient kings. Instead, they see this as an early, profound glimpse into the triune nature of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—consulting together in the divine council.
