Exegesis
The paired expressions kol giv’ah ramah {כָּל־גִּבְעָה רָמָה | kol gib-ʿāh rā-māh} and kol etz avot {כָּל־עֵץ עָבֹת | kol ʿēṣ ʿā-ḇōṯ} exhibit parallelism to emphasize the idolatrous settings.
In context — Ezekiel 20:28
And I brought them to the land which I lifted up my hand to give to them; and they saw every high hill and every thick tree, and there they sacrificed their sacrifices and presented the provocation of their offering. There they placed the fragrance of their soothing aromas and poured out their drink offerings.
