Deut6:4 Hear, O Yisra’El! Yahuah is our El, Yahuah is one/achad H259
While the English readers would define One as ‘Alone/ only one’ what they forget is ‘One’ is gender-neutral, indefinite pronoun that means, roughly, "a person". For purposes of verb agreement it is a third-person singular pronoun, though it sometimes appears with first- or second-person reference. It is sometimes called an impersonal pronoun. Similarly in Hebrew it’s a plural indefinite pronoun used in first,second or third person reference or showing a group of people/persons.
Here are a few examples of achad in Old Testament
Gen 2:21 So יהוה Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept. And He took one/achad of his side, and closed up the flesh in its place.
Yahuah took one/achad of Adams two sides to form Chahuah. Hence, achad can’t be Adams only one side to rule it out to be single.
Gen 2:11 The name of the first/achad is Pishon, it is the one surrounding the entire land of Ḥawilah, where there is gold.
There was only one river flowing through Eden but it was divided into four heads and the word achad is used to point out that out of the four heads, the first one was Pishon
The word achad here shows an arrangement of diversity or hierarchical arrangement. Pishon was part of the only river but one of the four heads and in a geographical pointing was first in hierarchy.
Gen 2:24 For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one/achad flesh.
The husband and wife are two persons but in unity/chad are one/achad flesh. Hence, two represented as ONE.
Gen 3:22 And יהוה Elohim said, “See, the man has become like one/achad of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”
Gen 3:22 shows us plurality and is the most misunderstood text where people have derived a trinity (three persons) and binary (two persons)
Yahuah speaks in the first and second person as per His presence in two realms. One heavenly realm and one futuristic earthly realm as the Son who is the first born over all creation and in the Adamic race is the First and the Last . Gen 3:22 shows us plurality and is the most misunderstood text where people have derived a trinity and biunity of persons
Yahuah speaks in the first and second person as per His presence in two realms. One heavenly realm and one futuristic earthly realm as the Son who is the first born over all creation, and in the Adamic race is the First and the Last.
Here man is termed as being achad/one of mimenu/Us referring to a realisation of sin, not that Yahuah sinned but He realised the consequences of sin in Himself before He even created A’dam. There was no Plan B with Yahuah. He wouldn’t make a decision based on Adams actions. He Himself was the First and Last to channel A’dam into His redemption in Himself taking the full responsibility
Achad here is being in unity of knowledge or realisation of the need for deliverance and seeking this need lest A’dam eat of the tree of life, He was driven out with the tree of life being guarded.
Gen 41:25 And Yosěph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one/achad Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do:
Pharaoh saw two dreams, one good and ugly cows and one good stalks of grain and one withered. Achad here is used by Yahusaph to tell Pharoah that both his dreams are one.
These examples are enough evidence to show achad is plural.
Now let’s look at the word yachad
Will just present one scripture here as the word yachad means ‘together’
Psalms 133:1 See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity/yachad H3162
yachad means to join or unite. The view is of the elect of Yahuah joining to form one body yet each individual is diverse
That brings us to viewing the word H3173 yachyid
Zec 12:10 “And I shall pour on the house of Dawiḏ and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for the/ha only/yachyid H3173 *son*And they shall be in bitterness over Him as a bitterness over the/ha first-born/bekor H1060
Firstly in ZecharYah, Yahuah again speaks in two tenses. One “And they shall look Upon me/alay whom they have pierced and mourn for Him/ahlayu as one mourns for the ONLY/yachyid”
There is no word Ben or Bar after Yachyid. The translators added it to make sense as the verse ends with the word firstborn/bekor.
Also, in OT, the usage of this word is in reference of the only child/son
The word definition is the unity of body, soul and breath. Just as Yaaqob gives analogy of the body and breath saying the body without the breath is dead even so belief without works is dead. The body,soul and breath are inseparable in defining a person/personality. It’s a fusion of a human but shows a distinction as the dabar/word of Yahuah is a two edged sword piercing the joints and marrow, soul and breath. Just as Yahuah divided His substance transitioning from invisibility to visibility.
Similarly the word yachyid is a singular pronoun showing a distinction from other children. The ONLY begotten/firstborn from many
Gen 22:2 And He said, “Take your son/ben , now, your only/yachyid Yitsḥaq, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriyah, and offer him there as an ascending offering on one of the mountains which I command you.”
Again here there is no word Ben or Bar after the word yachyid but is mentioned in the first part of the verse “Take your son/ben…”
Yahuah could have said “ Take your only/yachyid son/ben….” But we need to notice the distinction coz Abraham had Yishmael already as a son, hence, the distinction is Take your Ben/Son, Which son? Your ONLY/yachyid whom you love.
Yitshaq was the promised seed and we are like Yitshaq through belief in Yahusha ha Mashiyach
Gal 4:28 And we, brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise.
The besorah is hidden here for Yahuah told Abraham to take His yachyid beloved and offer him as ascending offering on Mount Moriah.
When Abraham obeyed, he received Yitshaq as a type for Yahuah Yarah (Yahuah will be seen) on the same mount Moriah on the stake. The ram who died in place of Yitshaq
Heb 11:19 reckoning that Elohim was able to raise, even from the dead, from which he received him (Yitshaq) back, as a type.
Where was the temple in Yerushalayim? Mount Moriah
2Ch 3:1 And Shelomoh began to build the House of יהוה at Yerushalayim on Mount Moriyah, where He appeared to his father Dawiḏ, at the place that Dawiḏ had prepared on the threshing-floor of Ornan the Yeḇusite.
The usage of yachyid is unique here as we the children of promise in Mashiyach Yahusha are received back from death penalty as a type being in the yachyid/Only Son Yahusha.
Jdg 11:34 And Yipthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only/yachyid beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
Yipthah had ONLY/yachyid one daughter and no other sons or daughters
Again yachyid showing the One and only
The letter ‘ha’ is a definite article before yachyid in the ZacharYah text. In the ZacharYah text, here Yahuah speaks in two tenses
1. They shall look upon me/alay whom they have pierced
2. Mourn for Him/ahlayu as one mourns for THE/Ha yachyid/ONLY
Joh 19:37 And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.” Zec 12:10.
Rev 1:7 See, He (Yahusha) is coming with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of Him. Zec 12:10 Yes, Aměn.
John10:30 “I and My Father: We are one/achad
The Father and the Son are Yahuah in two different realms and are Achad/One, representing the invisible Yahuah in immanence , in a bodily form (visible realm) by the examination of His substance, but Yahuah is Only/yachyid as Yahusha in the Adamic race as the first and last, to bring many sons to esteem through fulfilment of His promise
