 * shalt not remove.
   Before the extensive use of fences, landed property was marked
   out by stones or posts, set up so as to ascertain the
   divisions of family estates.  It was easy to remove one of
   these landmarks, and set it in a different place; and thus a
   dishonest man might enlarge his own estate by contracting that
   of his neighbour.  Hence it was a matter of considerable
   importance to prevent this crime among the Israelites; among
   whom, removing them would be equivalent to forging, altering,
   destroying, or concealing the title-deeds of an estate among
   us.  Accordingly, by the Mosaic law, it was not only
   prohibited in the commandment against covetousness, but we
   find a particular curse expressly annexed to it in ch. 27:17.
   Josephus considers this law a general prohibition, intended
   not only to protect private property, but also to preserve the
   boundaries of kingdoms and countries inviolable.
