How do you handle Genesis 1:26-27, which switches back and forth between plural and singular?

“Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

noone cares to answer that i guess, but good question- also,

Isaiah 9:6 - A Child Is Born
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

God says “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me”- so why does Isaiah say Christ is called “Mighty God”, and “Everlasting Father”? and why does the old testament use plural for God sometimes and not others? If God was not trinity, the bible woudl always state the singular for Eloah, Not Elohim, the plural form of Eloah
