Exegesis
The spatial phrases al kol-givʿah {עַל כָּל־גִּבְעָה | ʿal kol-giḇʿāh} ‘on every hill’ and vetachat kol-ets raʿanan {וְתַחַת כָּל־עֵץ רַעֲנָן | wə-taḥat kol-ʿeṣ raʿănān} ‘and under every green tree’ employ repeated prepositions to convey thorough pervasiveness. English rendering preserves this sequence and spatial scope to reflect the Hebrew’s emphatic breadth.
