The word used here for one is ECHAD, Hebrew/Chaldee Lexicon To
The Old
Testament, (echad) means, "to unite, to join together, to be in
unity."
in other words "Compound United oneness"
echad is a uniplural adjective describing several items in one
unit or
group or compound UNITY. The word is used for one nation of 12
tribes,
mariage two become one flesh god took one (Echad) rib and the

God could have used yachid the hebrew word for Absolute one or
"the only
one," "alone." Genesis 22:2 "Take now your son, your only
[yachid] son"
Jesus said "I and my Father are ONE" (John 10:25)
ECHAD is used in Deuteronomy 6:4: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our
God, the
Lord is One."
Some call it TRI - UNITY
TRINITY is a contraction of TRIuNITY
Hope this helps you understand the TRI UNITY of God.
