Protecting Property Boundaries

Deuteronomy 19:14

Showing verse 14 with surrounding context.

"However, if someone hates his fellow member of the community, lies in wait for him, attacks him, strikes him a death blow, and then flees into one of these cities;

then the leaders of his own town are to send and bring him back from there and hand him over to the next-of-kin avenger, to be put to death.

You are not to pity him. Rather, you must put an end to the shedding of innocent blood in Isra'el. Then things will go well with you.

"You are not to move your neighbor's boundary marker from the place where people put it long ago, in the inheritance soon to be yours in the land ADONAI your God is giving you to possess.

"One witness alone will not be sufficient to convict a person of any offense or sin of any kind; the matter will be established only if there are two or three witnesses testifying against him.

"If a malicious witness comes forward and gives false testimony against someone,

then both the men involved in the controversy are to stand before ADONAI, before the cohanim and the judges in office at the time.
