shalt not remove.Before the extensive use of fences, landed property was marked out by stones or posts, set up so as to ascertain the divisions of family estates.
It was easy to remove one of these landmarks, and set it in a different place; and thus a dishonest man might enlarge his own estate by contracting that of his neighbour.
Hence it was a matter of considerable importance to prevent this crime among the Israelites; among whom, removing them would be equivalent to forging, altering, destroying, or concealing the title-deeds of an estate among us.
Accordingly, by the Mosaic law, it was not only prohibited in the commandment against covetousness, but we find a particular curse expressly annexed to it in ch. 27:17. Josephus considers this law a general prohibition, intended not only to protect private property, but also to preserve the boundaries of kingdoms and countries inviolable.
Deut. 27:17• 17Cursed be he that removeth his neighbor's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Deut. 27:17)
;
Job 24:2• 2Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. (Job 24:2)
;
Prov. 22:28• 28Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. (Prov. 22:28)
;
Prov. 23:10• 10Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: (Prov. 23:10)
;
Hos. 5:10• 10The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. (Hos. 5:10)
