It would be remiss to insist that "one" can only mean that YHWH is only a single individual instead of a unity since scripture plainly references "one" as being a unity.Deuteronomy 6:4

Is that "one Lord" the LORD God or the Lord Jesus Christ? (Hint: both)
It would have to be the Lord God, not his son the lord Jesus Christ.Is that "one Lord" the LORD God or the Lord Jesus Christ? (Hint: both).
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear."Jesus replied, "This is the most important: 'Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" (Mark 12:29). God has a Son Jesus. Both God and Jesus can give the Holy Spirit.
Yes, you have shown a list of one type of entity that is a subset of a different kind of entity.It would be remiss to insist that "one" can only mean that YHWH is only a single individual instead of a unity since scripture plainly references "one" as being a unity.
12 tribes = one nationMany members = one body.Husband & wife = one flesh.etc.
It is easy to show that ancient Jews most certainly believed that YHWH was a unity for centuries.
Such evidence can be seen by Jewish scholars, such as Alan F. Segal and Benjamin D. Sommers, who both wrote books documented with substantial footnotes of the beliefs of ancient Jews.
Not only did ancient Jews believe YHWH was a unity, but they also fully recognized that it DID NOT violate monotheism at all.
And I will remind folks that neither of these men thought Jesus was the Messiah, so no one can accuse them of a 'Christian' spin on their research.

Both of these books are documented to the hilt with actual ancient Jewish writings and the scriptures that led them to this unequivocal belief.
This is an issue that must be studied as THEOLOGY, not MATHAMATICS.

See https://theologyonline.com/threads/god-is-one.60472/post-1904835makes it very clear that there are two lords, one is the Lord God and the other is the lord Jesus Christ who is the son of God.
It shows that a unity (many membered: as hand, foot, eye, ear) can be referred to as a single ("one") body.Yes, you have shown a list of one type of entity that is a subset of a different kind of entity.
I assure you that the 2 books I mentioned are packed with scriptures showing the theological implications that YHWH is a unity and that the ancients Jews believed it for centuries and did not consider it to be disloyal to monotheism.Since we should look at scripture instead of other sources, may I suggest you reread the list of verses I provided to see that the Lord God is the only one.

“Listen, people of Israel! The Lord is our God. The Lord is the only God.
That is totally correct. I'm pretty sure this have been explained to him (and others) before. There are multiple Hebrew words for "one". The one used in Deut 6:4 is "echad", which is a one of UNITY and not a one of absolute SINGULARITY.It shows that a unity (many membered: as hand, foot, eye, ear) can be referred to as a single ("one") body.
Multiple members functioning in unity for one purpose.
