God Created

1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3And God said, ...
(Genesis 1:1-3a)
Here in the first three verses of Genesis, the Trinity of the One True God is expressed. The Hebrew word for God in this passage is Eloheem. In Hebrew, nouns can be singular, dual, or plural (more than two). Eloheem is plural. This is the "plural of majesty", expressed in English by the way a ruling king or queen would adress themselves in third person as plural.
In verse 2 we are introduced to the Spirit of God. The proverbial Breath of Life (Gen 2:7), who is also our Comforter (John 14:26), and who is given in earnest until the ressurection (2 Cor 1:22).
And in verse 3 we are introduced to the Son of God, who is the Word that was made flesh.
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(John 1:1-3)
