So why add Jesus to the verse? It works perfectly fine without it. Moses was speaking to an Angel of God. Done. No changes or ammendments needed.
That's true. I'm just glad that you recognize that the Elohim use is in the singular. Thank you.
Messianic Prophecies Fulfilled by Yeshua
Shalom to all. Messiah Yeshua came to atone for the sins of both Jew and Gentile so that we can have a living, breathing relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Yeshua fulfills every single prophesy of the Messiah as recorded in the Hebrew Scriptures. Yeshua was born a Jew—his legal father's (Joseph's) genealogy is found in Matthew chapter 1.

Isaiah 53:10 says, Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, and he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Isaiah 53:12 says, ...he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

- Messiah is the Son of God.
Tenakh/Hebrew Scripture
Psalm 2:7, I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Proverbs 30:4, Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Br'it Chadashah/New Covenant

- Messiah cut off before destruction of the sanctuary.
Tenakh/Hebrew Scripture
Daniel 9:24-26, Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks: and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
The temple was destroyed in 70 A.D.--after the death of the Messiah.
- Perfect sacrifice.
Tenakh/Hebrew Scripture
Leviticus 16 details how the priest is to give atonement for the sins of the people by shedding the blood of animals. These animals were substitutionary sacrifices. Moses's actions picture what Christ would do on the cross as the perfect sacrifice- deity in human form without sin and without blemish.
Br'it Chadashah/New Covenant
II Corinthians 5:21, For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
John 1:29, ...Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
I Peter 1:18-19, ...redeemed with...the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
Unlike the blood of goats which had to be offered once a year in atonement, Christ takes away our sins for eternity.
- Born in Bethlehem.

Br'it Chadashah/New Covenant
Luke 1:26-27, 31,34-35, ...the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, Named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David...(and the angel said)...behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS..Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (See Matthew chapters 1 and 2 and Luke chapters 1 and 2.)
(ASIDE: Catholicism has unscripturally exalted the role of Mary. She is not to be worshipped and neither are saints or statues).
- His messenger sent before Him.
Tenakh/Hebrew Scripture

Matthew 3:11 (John speaking), I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worth to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.
When the Pharisees asked who he was, John explained in John 1:23, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias."
- Rejected by Israel.
Tenakh/Hebrew Scripture
Isaiah 8:14, And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Lehitraot להתראות is one word.
Therefore, you still cannot show that God became a person. Not only that, Jewish Monotheism began with Abraham. None of these verses from Genesis have any bearing on whom a Jewish person worships. Maybe Abraham's father the idol-worshipper believed in multple Gods for the same reasons you are providing?
That in itself means he was not equal to two other persons called god.
As long as you rercognize that the person is a singular. The person is in the position of "Elohim"demonstrating that Elohim is a singular. Thanks.
Also God shows up to Manoach, and is a flame in the bush, and also a voice from Mt. Sinai. I just doubled your "trinity". I can find more if you want.
Your claim about a Trinity doesn't disprove that God is one.
Nothing. You haven't been paying attention, have you? Elohim CAN be a plural of Eloah and it CAN be a singular with a couple of different meanings. The verb/pronoun/adjective establishes which version of the word is being used.
