The royal we in particular does not make sense there. "Behond, the man has become like one of Me???"

(What I personally find really interesting about this specific verse is that prior to Gen 3:22, God did know good and evil. Humankind didn't know good and evil, only good. Weird little paradox there.)

The word Us here or Eloyem is for respect. I don't know what do they call it in English, but in Arabic and also Hebrew -since both of them are semantic languages- this is called "the plural of respect" and it's used a lot.
Exactly like in the Quran, when God is talking about him self, God uses "the plural of respect". |
