Commentary
Ḥītān is the plural of Hā'īt, which means wall, and here it means an orchard surrounded by walls or fences.
An orchard surrounded by walls is a good place for being alone and seclusion, where a person can pray undisturbed with full attention, humility. His prayer was a source of goodness and blessing for the orchard and this was also a message of good news, pleasure and prosperity for the owner of the orchard.
