Deuteronomy 19:14

To the ordinance concerning cities of refuge Moses appends one prohibiting the removing of landmarks; if these had been placed by a man's ancestors to mark the boundaries of possessions, they were not to be surreptitiously altered. Landmarks were held sacred, and a curse is pronounced against those who remove them ( Deuteronomy 27:7 ; cf. Job 24:2 ; Proverbs 22:28 ; Proverbs 23:10 ; Hosea 5:10 ). Among other nations also landmarks were regarded as sacred.
