Landmarks, or Bounds
Hosea 5:10
The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath on them like water.


In the East, advantage was taken, wherever possible, of natural divisions, such as river beds, tributary stream lines, or edges of valleys; but in the open ground, the separate properties were only marked by a deeper furrow, or by large stones almost buried in the soil. Stealthy encroachments might easily be made by shifting these stones.
