Judean hills

Luke 1:67-79
67Then Zechariah, the child's father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied: 68“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,for he has visited his people and brought them redemption. 69He has raised up for us a horn of salvationin the house of his servant David 70(just as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets long ago), 71salvation from our enemiesand from the hand of all who hate us—[] 72to deal mercifully with our fathersand to remember his holy covenant, 73the oath he swore to Abraham our father,to grant us 74that we, having been rescued from the hands of our enemies,might serve him without fear, 75in holiness and righteousnessbefore him all the days of our life. 76And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High,for you will go before the presence of the Lord to prepare his ways,[] 77to give his people knowledge of salvationthrough the remission of their sins, 78through the tender mercy of our God,by which the sunrise has visited us from on high, 79to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,to guide our feet into the way of peace.”[*]
