Luke 1:73

71 That we should be saved from our enemies
And from the hand of all who hate us,

72 ^aTo perform the mercy promised to our fathers
And to remember His holy covenant,

74 To grant us that we,
Being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
Might ^aserve Him without fear,

75 ^aIn holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

76 “And you, child, will be called the ^aprophet of the Highest;
For ^byou will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,

77 To give ^aknowledge of salvation to His people
By the remission of their sins,

Luke 1:73

The oath which he sware (orkon on wmosen). Antecedent attracted to case of the relative. The oath appears in Genesis 22:16-18. The oppression of the Gentiles seems to be in the mind of Zacharias. It is not certain how clearly he grasped the idea of the spiritual Israel as Paul saw it in Galatians and Romans.
