Berkhof explains this pretty well I think.
Divine simplicity means he cannot and is not divided.
So for example, he transcends time. That means his Being is not divided into past, present and future.

Shama Yisrayel, Yahweh Elohaynu, Yahweh echad.
Shama: imperatival form of “to hear”. “Listen” might be a better translation.
Yisrayel: Israel.
Yahweh: The covenantal name of God.
Elohaynu: our God. Elohim is God, but with this -nu ending, it means our God. (The “ay” means it’s in construct, for you who are paying attention.)
Yahweh again.
Echad: one.
Listen Israel Yahweh our God Yahweh one.

The two Wittnesses opened the Seal of the Covenant and the Lord answered: “My Beloved Son.. I hear Your Voice”. A mighty and terrible Tornado swept the Land of Israel. “The Unholy, who do not serve, will perish”. Only Truth itself can withstand the holy Light. “Father.. I am Your Son”
