Landmark
LANDMARK
Fences and walls seem to have been little used in Judea, Mar 2:23, though gardens were sometimes inclosed. The ancient and permanent limits, therefore, of individual property in the open field, Rth 2:3, were marked by trees or heaps of stones at the corners; and as it was easy, by removing these, to encroach on a neighbor’s ground, a peculiar form of dishonesty arose, requiring a severe punishment, Deu 19:14 Pro 22:28 Hos 5:10 .

Landmark
a boundary line indicated by a stone, stake, etc. (Deut. 19:14; 27:17; Prov. 22:28; 23:10; Job 24:2). Landmarks could not be removed without incurring the severe displeasure of God.

Landmark
LANDMARK.The word (gebl) so rendered must not be identified off-hand, as is usually done, with the kudurru or boundary-stone of the Babylonians, for the fundamental passage, Deu 19:14, Thou shalt not remove thy neighbours landmark, which they of old time have set, should rather be rendered: Thou shalt not remove (or set back) thy neighbours boundary, which they have drawn. Under the old Hebrew system of the cultivation in common of the village land, the boundaries of the plots may have been indicated as at the present day by a furrow double in width to the ordinary one, at each end of which a stone is set up, called the boundary-stone (PEFSt [Note: Quarterly Statement of the same.] , 1894, p. 195 f.). The form of land-grabbing by setting back a neighbours boundary-line must have been common in OT times, to judge by the frequent references to, and condemnations of, the practice (Deu 19:14; Deu 27:17, Hos 5:10, Pro 22:28; Pro 23:10, Job 24:2).

Landmark
landmark (, gebhul, literally, boundary): The boundary may have been marked, as at present, simply by a furrow or stone. The iniquity of removing a landmark is frequently insisted on (Deu 19:14; Deu 27:17; Pro 22:28; Pro 23:10; Job 24:2 gebhulah), its removal being equivalent to theft.
