Deuteronomy 19:14 English Standard Version Property Boundaries 14 “You shall not move your neighbor's landmark, which the men of old have set, in the inheritance that you will hold in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess. Everyone had an eternal inheritance that belonged not only to them, but to their future generations. No one was to move the boundary markers (landmarks) between allotments of land to take land from one man/family/clan/tribe and give it to another, especially those who did this dishonestly to try to steal land that did not belong to them. Every man, family, clan and tribe had exactly what they needed and what the LORD had provided for them.
Side note here, but Israel should have never allowed the UN to define its territory (much smaller than what the LORD had allotted them) and should never gotten into the "land for peace" deals as the Land is not theirs to sell or trade--it belongs to the LORD and He has given stewardship of it to specific people families, clans, and tribes...now that part of the Land has been given away to those who have no claim to it, and the LORD Himself will have to win it back in battle in Revelation so that the Land may once again be whole and Israel and the people of God will finally have all the Land promised to them. But we look forward to an even better inheritance that is imperishable--the kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His kingdom will have no end as He sits on the throne of His father David. No one will move any of the boundary markers of His kingdom and there will be a place prepared for each and every one of us that no one else will steal and we can never give away.
