Anything, as a stone or stake, that marked the boundary of a tribe, or of a man’s possession. 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. (Proverbs 22:28); Prov. 23:10¹⁰Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: (Proverbs 23:10)).
