theology - Who is "us" in Genesis 1:26 if God is one?


Gen 1:26 says:



Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness



What does the word "us" imply here?


There are also other instances of this "us" found in Gen 3:22:



Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever




So what is the meaning of this in the views of Judaism? Who was included in the "us"? What does Judaism believe with the "Genesis plurals"?
