PROVERBS 22:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.”
Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your forefathers—a command against theft of land through boundary-shifting, establishing that respect for established ownership and inherited rights is essential to social order. The 'ancient boundary stone' (gavul olam) represents inherited property and the rights of ancestors. The theological significance involves the principle that justice includes respect for property rights and honor for ancestral legacy.
