In Mark 12:28-34, Jesus describes what he regards as the greatest commandment, and in doing so, he reinforces the famous Jewish monotheistic creed. This episode explores the interaction between Jesus and a friendly scribe that results in a reaffirmation of the crucial truth that the true God, Yahweh, is only one person.
In this video, I incorrectly state that Targum Ps. Jonathan regards the LORD our God in the Shema as the Father. I have misread the data. The Targum does, however, add in regard to Deut 6:4 the following: "Jacob answered and said, 'Blessed by his glorious Name for ever and ever.'" So the Targumist does refer to Yahweh as one person, since "his name" has a singular pronoun, indicating that Yahweh is one person. However, I admit that what I said in the video was mistaken regarding the reference to the father, which refers to Israel.
