Landmark

Easton's Bible Dictionary

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.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

land'-mark (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 (Deut 19:14; Deut 27:17; Prov 22:28; Prov 23:10; Job 24:2 gebhulah), its removal being equivalent to theft.
