LANDMARK*

Inscribed stone that denoted a boundary of fields, districts, or nations (Gn 31:51-52). In most Near Eastern countries the removal of a landmark was a serious crime; in Israel it was a violation of the law of Moses (Dt 19:14; 27:17). Removing landmarks (NLT “boundary markers”) could be represented as changing ancient customs and laws (Prv 22:28; 23:10; cf. Jb 24:2).
