On two different occasions (the most recent being yesterday), I have been told
that the Hebrew word "Echad" (one), means a "Composite unity" i.e. more than a
"Single" one; the examples of this were, Adam & Eve being "one" and your body
having many parts but it is "one" body (This reference was presented in a
discussion on Deut 6:4) . This person also stated if you were talking about a
"Single" one, you would use the Hebrew word, "Yachid"; the example given for
Yachid was "One" moon or sun.
My initial response is the shema (Ex. 6.4) ..... Shema Yisroel YHWH eloheynu YHWH echad
Now for the question. Do you suppose that the author is here saying that YHWH is a "composite unity"? I think not. Hopefully, this will answer your question.
