Ne déplace point la borne de ton voisin, telle que l’auront posée les devanciers, dans le lot qui te sera échu sur le territoire dont l’Éternel, ton Dieu, t’accorde la possession.
On the Posterity of Cain and his Exile
[89] These boundaries were fixed not by the creation to which we belong, but on principles which are divine and are older than we and all that belongs to earth. This has been made clear by the Law, where it solemnly enjoins upon each one of us not to adulterate the coinage of virtue, using these words: “thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s boundaries, which thy fathers set up” (Deut. 19:14), and again in other words: “Ask thy father and he will show thee; thine elders and they will tell thee. When the Most High distributed nations, when He dispersed the sons of Adam, He set boundaries of nations according to the number of the angels of God, and Jacob His people became the Lord’s portion, Israel became the lot of His inheritance” (Deut. 32:7–9).
