Likewise, we know that by "I and the father are one" that he isn't claiming to be God, because only YHWH is God (as per Torah)
Now we get into the “my interpretation” vs “your interpretation” issue.
Take the word “one” in this passage - it has a number of possible meanings
based on context -
agreement (1), alike* (1), alone (3), common (1), detail (1), first (9), individual (2), individually* (1), lone (1), man (1), nothing* (1), one (282), one another (1), one man (2), one thing (5), one* (2), person (1), single (1), smallest (1), someone (2), thirty-nine* (1), unity (1).
The context...
John 10
The Shepherd Knows His Sheep
22Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.
26But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
27My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
28And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29My Father, who has given
them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch
them out of My Father’s hand.
30I and My Father are one.”
