Land-mark. The removing of a landmark was specially prohibited by the Mosaic law. Deuteronomy 19:14, Deuteronomy 27:17, Proverbs 22:28, Proverbs 23:10. See also Job 24:2. As this was so flagrant an offence, the expression seems to have become proverbial to designate unprincipled conduct. See Hosea 5:10.
