I am having trouble breaking down the verse in Genesis where it says "Let us make man in our image". When referring to the hebrew words asah (make) and tselem I dont see any reason to add the words "let us" and "in our" as a prefix. Maybe I am missing something but there is nothing in the hebrew meaning that can lead me to believe that those words can be added. At first I thought a about the word elohim but it is said that it is not always us as a plural word.

Would anyone happen to know why or how those words were added ??
