The ceation account and tbe spirit ofGod hovering ocer tbe waters Bere the two. are evident. It takes Joy. One to realize the Word ( the son) Jesus as her. ALSO Elohim is actually alkuram of El but always takes a singular verb. Anoymthet proof often pointed out. The new testament. Is needed to understand d the old and what God was doining. It’s. one story with really only one true one author God.

There is only one God
Dt 6:4 See also Isa 43:10-11; 44:8; 1Ti 1:17; 2:5; Jas 2:19OT indications of plurality in the Godhead
God refers to himself in the plural Ge 1:26 See also Ge 3:22; 11:7; Isa 6:8 The angel of the Lord Ge 16:11-13 The “angel of the Lord” is identified with, yet distinct from, God. See also Ge 18:1-33; Ex 3:2-6; Jdg 13:3-22
The word of God
The “word of the Lord” or “wisdom of God” is personified and identified with, yet distinct from, God: Ps 33:4; Pr 8:22-31
The Spirit of God
The Spirit of God is God’s personal agent: Ge 1:2; Ne 9:20; Job 33:4; Isa 40:13 fn
The Messiah
The Messiah’s divine nature is emphasised: Ps 110:1; Isa 9:6; Jer 23:5-6
Interchangeable expressions
Word, Spirit (or breath) and Lord are used interchangeably for God: Ps 33:6; Isa 48:16; 61:1

Ps.110:1, The Lord said unto my Lord…
-
Genesis 1:1

While there are good sources for this in the OT, why do you seek only them?
-
There are none. In fact, the entire OT testifies against the notion. Here is the tell: The doctrine is presented as something I must believe to be Christian. By implication “to be saved”. See, then, that the doctrine competes with the Gospel message… the only power of God unto salvation. Your doctrine has not one ounce of power to save… it is not the Gospel. Second: Neither my Lord or my God has commanded any to believe such a notion. Only men who love the false Gospel command it. Who are these to argue with God? Hmmm…

Christ’s baptism…the fathers voice, the son in the river and the spirit descends upon jesus in the form of a dove.

Most of comments here are true. In addition; you should read Wayne Grudem Systematic Theology, Moody handbook of theology these are free online.

“Come you near unto
me, hear you this; from
the beginning I have not
spoken in secret; from
the time that it was,
there am I: and now the
Lord Jehovah has sent
ME , and his Spirit .”
Isaiah 48:16 -
Genesis 1:1
“In the beginning God created…”
The Hebrew used for “God” is “El Ohim” which is a plural noun.Note however that the Hebrew verb “created” is singular.

I will always defend the truth but I am not here to take a theology test !!! you say you believe in the trinity? good enough, I don’t need to educate you!
-
I think you can look back into the Old Testament and find a plurality of persons with divine attributes, plus the strong teaching of monotheism. But if we don’t see it from a New Testament perspective, I doubt we could find express proof of the Trinity. The Jews did not see it in Old Testament times.

Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know! – Proverbs 30:4
-
In the old testament? There’s plenty in the New Testament. The person of Jesus hadn’t even been born yet.
I say look at when Jesus was baptized or at His transfiguration. All 3 parts at the Godhead are present. You don’t see this in the OT. -
