The first line of the Shema is:
Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad.
Listen Israel the Lord is our G-d the Lord is One.
The literal word meanings are roughly as follows:
- Shema - listen, or hear and "act on"
- Yisrael - Israel, as in the people of Israel
- Adonai - often translated as "Lord"
- Eloheinu - our God
- Echad - the Hebrew word for the absolute number one
