Gen. 1:26-27 『Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,”…So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』

Gen. 11:1-7 『…The LORD said…”Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”』
