This is probably one of the most important verses in the Old Testament  concerning JEHOVAH.
It speaks of more than the fact that JEHOVAH IS ONE GOD. “It asserts that the Lord God of Israel is absolutely God, and none other. He, and He alone, is Jehovah (Yahweh) the absolute, uncaused God; the One who had, by His election of them, made Himself known to Israel."

K& D present us concerning these verses, “There are two things contained in it:

(1) that Jehovah is the one absolute God; #

(2) that He requires love with all the heart, all the soul, and all the strength. “Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.”

(Note: On the majuscula ע and ד in שְׁמַע and אֶחָד, R. Bochin has this remark: “It is possible to confess one God with the mouth, although the heart is far from Him.

He is Jehovah, the Being of beings, a self-existent Being, eternal and immutable; and he is but one in nature and essence; this appears from the perfection of his nature, his eternity, omnipotence, omnipresence, infinity, goodness, self-sufficiency, and perfection; for there can be but one eternal, one omnipotent, one omnipresent, one infinite, one that is originally and of himself good; one self, and all sufficient, and perfect Being. J. Gill

Applications.

1.  We should come to JEHOVAH and bow before Him as the One True and Living God and there is NONE OTHER.
