Deuturonomy 6:4

[The following verse constitutes the Jewish creed Shema ("Hear" from the Hebrew shama – to hear, listen, and obey). The phrase is read several times during the day and reads:
Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad.
JHVH (Yahweh) is never pronounced but is replaced because of its holiness with Adonai (Lord). When asked which is the greatest commandment, Jesus answers by quoting this text, see Matt. 22:37–38.]
Hear, O Israel!
The Lord (Yahweh) [is] our God (Elohim), the Lord (Yahweh)
is one (the only one).
[The numeral echad (one), which here could be translated as "the only one," also has the meaning "unique," "united, joined together," and is also used of a man and wife who become "one flesh," see Gen. 2:24.]
