SCRIPTURE

"Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor`s landmark, which they of old time have set, in thine inheritance which thou shalt inherit, in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it." — Deuteronomy 19:14 (ASV)

Direction is given to fix landmarks in Canaan. It is God's will that everyone should know what is theirs; and that means should be used to hinder the doing and suffering of wrong. This, without doubt, is a moral precept, and still binding. Let everyone be content with their own lot, and be just to their neighbors in all things.
