Every Hebrew Lexicon/concordance I have referenced has defined Echad as united oneness and Yachid as the numerical one. "Yachid" is NEVER used of God in the Old testament.
@AbrahamicMovement even trinis have stopped using the so-called "US texts" in Genesis." Sure, ok. Can you please show me in the bible where God is defined as 1 person. In otherwords that monotheism is unitarianism?
@BauerPower247...Yes God is not a human, nor son of a human [Num 23.19] but personal pronouns are there for a reason. Also, in case you did not know, even trinis have stopped using the so-called "US texts" in Genesis. See any Bible commentary/dictionary. Echad is the equivalent of the numerical value "1". Again, check your Hebrew lexicon/concordance. Just like in the Greek "eis" is the numerical "1".
Personal pronouns such as "I, Me and Him" designate a single HUMAN PERSON. But remember God is much more intricately distinct and not subject to human limitations. Also consider Genesis 1:26 - Let US make man in OUR own image. Perhaps you could explain Deuteronomy 6:4 - "Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one (Echad not Yachid)!" Yachid means solitary oneness such as one in number. Echad is most often used as a unified oneness as is the case in Gen 2:24.
The preconception I bring to the Bible is that a singular personal pronoun defines a single Person. This is a fair preconception. I go to the Bible believing that in Hebrew and Greek and Engish "I, Me, Him" designate a single person. God in the Bible is defined throughout by singular personal pronouns. This means that God is a single Person. This is a proper preconception, based on our laws of language. I speak after a career teaching in a Bible college. I think my assumption is valid..
yes, the INFINITE complexity in unity. The same word is used of the man and woman and the two becoming "one flesh"
