Deuteronomy 19:14

Cities of Refuge, Boundary Markers, and Faithful Witnesses

Cities of refuge protect the innocent slayer from wrongful death; the boundary statute guards every family's covenantal inheritance; the witness laws purge false accusation and ensure that the punishment the perjurer intended falls on himself instead.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

14You must not move your neighbor’s boundary marker, which was set up by your ancestors to mark the inheritance you shall receive in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
