Dialogue in Torah

Verses in which Hashem's audience is left unspecified:

  • Bereshit 1:3,6,9,11,14,20,24,26 – Is Hashem speaking aloud to angels or is Hashem merely thinking (aloud?) to Himself with אמר meaning thought? See commentators to Bereshit 1:26 and more.
  • Bereshit 2:18, 3:22, 6:3,7, 11:6
  • Bereshit 18:20 – Is Hashem merely thinking (aloud?) to Himself or is He speaking to Avraham or to the angels? This depends on the dispute among the commentators throughout the chapter regarding if "Hashem" refers to God Himself or to one (perhaps the most important) of the angels, and regarding whom Avraham is conversing with.
  • Shemot 20:1 – see our discussion there.
