God's Unbreakable Oath
Commentators explain that God swears an oath by His own power—His 'right hand' and 'arm of his strength'—because there is nothing greater by which to swear. John Calvin notes that God condescends to use an oath to accommodate human weakness and unbelief, giving the strongest possible assurance that His promise to protect and provide for His people is unbreakable.
