The Hebrew word "echad" in
Deut 6:4 means one in it's numerical value.
This is from the Brown-Drive-Briggs Hebrew lexicon:
OT:259
'echad --
one (number)
a) one (number)
b) each, every
c) a certain
d) an (indefinite article)
e) only, once, once for all
f) one...another, the one...the other, one after another, one by one
g) first
h) eleven (in combination), eleventh (or dinal)
