him, who question? The Hippocratic Oath
I swear by Apollo the physician, by Aesculapius, Hygeia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgement the following oath. To consider dear to me as my parents him taught me this art.
"To consider dear to me as my parents him taught me this art."
Why here use him rather than who, and I think parents is a plural word, why not use them?
"To consider dear to me as my parents him taught me this art."
