   In Luke 23:30, βουνοῖς is dative plural in the clause directed toward the hills; the APB renders the appeal, “to the hills, "Cover us."” In Luke 3:5, βουνὸς is nominative singular within the declaration that every mountain and hill will be brought low; the APB renders that clause “every mountain and hill shall be brought low.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “hills” in both verses, once as the object of an appeal and once alongside “mountain” in a leveling statement. This reflects the clauses rather than a precise token-by-token mapping.
