Quote:
"And God said to the ministering angels who had been created on the second day of creation of theworld, 'Let us make Man'" (Tagum Jonathan)
When Moses wrote the Torah, and came to this verse (let us make), which is in the plural and implies that there is more than one creator, he said: "Sovereign of the Universe! Why do You thus furnish a pretext for heretics to maintain that there is a plurality of divines?" "Write!", HaShem replied. "Whoever wishes to err will err... Instead, let them learn from their Creator Who created all, yet when He came to create Man, He took counsel with the ministering Angels!" (Midrash)
Thus, HaShem taught that one shouls always consult others before embarking on major new initiatives, and He was not deterred by the possibility that some might choose to find a sacrilegious implication in the verse. The implication of HaShem's response, "Whoever wishes to err," is that one who sincerely seeks the truth will see it; one who looks for an excuse to blasphame will find it.
HaShem spoke with his Angels that he created out of respect to them, to show them that their creation was not meaningless! For HaShem would not want his closest servants to become enamored with the idea that they were not important.
