The oldest teaching is that God is a singularity that is also a plurality. This is from the very first verse in the Bible:
בראשית ברא אלהים
In the beginning God created (Gensis 1:1)
אלהים Elohim (God) is a plural noun
ברא Bara (created) is a singular verb
ראשית (reshit) begininng is from ראש (rosh) meaning head, top, height, chief, best.
Thus the highest teaching about God is contained in the first three words of the Bible in which He presents Himself as a singularity that is also a plurality.
