Proverbs 22:28 – Respect for Boundaries

BIBLE TEXT

Proverbs 22:28

SUMMARY

Have respect for boundaries. Don’t steal another person’s land.

ANALYSIS

Proverbs 22:28 refers to moving a boundary marker. Archaeologists have found such markers, which often had a curse written upon them, announcing that various evils would fall upon anyone moving the marker! See also 23:10-11 where concern for the orphan is added to this warning.
