He was speaking to Jesus, his only begotten Son, the firstborn of all creation.
God also spoke to him at Genesis 3:22--"And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever-"
He also spoke directly to Jesus at Genesis 11:7--"Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

God was talking to himself. This is the first reference to the trinity in scripture. It is the same Hebrew word as used in Genesis 3:22 and 11:7. The very name of God, Elohim (Genes 1:1) is a plural form of El. refering to man. The crowning point of creation, a living human, was made in God's image to rule creation.
The terminology OUR IMAGE defined man's unique relation to God. Man is a living being capable of embodying God's communicable attributes (see Gen. 9:6; Rom. 8:29; Col. 3:10; James 3:9). In his rational life, he was like God in that he could reason and had intellect, will and emotion. In the moral sense, he was like God because he was good and he was sinless.

There's been a serious mistranslation of the bible that's been passed on for centuries. In Genesis 1:1, the original Hebrew text uses the word "elohim", which is the PLURAL form of "el" -- literally translated, the first line of the bible should read "In the beginning, the GODS created the heavens and the earth..."
Christianity evolved from an ancient Canaanite mystery cult which featured a whole pantheon of gods. Yahweh -- who eventually morphed into the Christian God -- was originally just the god of lightning from this cult.

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit communicated.

This quote is from the KIng James Version, and may refer to the use of "we" as an imperial plural.
However it is possible God was addressing his angels or such other forms as the Son or Holy Spirit.
I have noticed the wording but it hasn't particularly bothered me.

Theologians believe that God was talking to the trinity-God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Just as water is steam, liquid and solid.

Mmmmmm!
Some surprising answers there!
If you read the whole of Genesis and digest the content, you will discover that God was talking to the myriads of angels in the heavens!

Very interesting, isn't it? A strong argument for trinitarianism. God is three---and one. Kinda like when He appeared to Abraham in Genesis 18. As THREE MEN! Yet He called Himself "I."

Man will never understand God, but I presume He was talking to the Trinity, Father and Son and heavenly angels
