land´mark (גּבוּל, gebhūl, literally, “boundary”):

A boundary line indicated by a stone, stake, etc. Landmarks could not be removed without incurring the severe displeasure of God.

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 (Deuteronomy 19:14; Deuteronomy 27:17; Proverbs 22:28; Proverbs 23:10; Job 24:2 gebhūlāh), its removal being equivalent to theft.
