246 - FRAUDULENTLY ALTERING LAND BOUNDARIES
Leviticus 19:13 -- “You shall not cheat your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of him who is hired shall not remain with you all night until morning.”
Deuteronomy 19:14 -- “You shall not remove your neighbor's landmark, which the men of old have set, in your inheritance which you will inherit in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.”
This negative commandment applies only to the Land of Israel.
The commandment concerning hasagath gevul “removing a neighbor’s landmark” is the source of the law against encroaching unlawfully upon a neighbor’s trade.*
