Exegesis
The repetition of al {עַל | ʿal} before gevaot haggevohot {גְּבָעֹת הַגְּבֹהוֹת | gə-ḇā-ʿōṯ ha-gə-ḇō-hōṯ} ‘on the high hills’ reinforces the theme of elevation. The English renders the parallel prepositional structure while clarifying word order for readability.
In context — Jeremiah 17:2
While their children remember their altars and their Asherim, beside every green tree on the high hills.
