Exegesis
The nominal phrase kyrios ho theos hemon {κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν | ký-ri-os ho the-ós hē-môn} ‘the Lord our God’ serves as the subject of the equative clause kyrios heis estin {κύριος εἷς ἐστιν | ký-ri-os heîs es-tín} ‘the Lord is one’, with the repetition of kyrios framing the confession and reinforcing exclusive devotion to the one God.
