“Coast” From Concise Bible Dictionary:

A term in scripture signifying any “border,” inland as well as near the sea, it also may imply large districts (Ex. 10:4⁴Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast: (Exodus 10:4); Josh. 1:4⁴From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

The moving of such was forbidden by the law (Deut. 19:14¹⁴Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it. (Deuteronomy 19:14); Job 24:2²Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. (Job 24:2); Prov. 22:28²⁸Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
