Today’s devotion comes from Joshua chapter 15. Here is the link to this chapter – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua%2015&version=NASB1995
I quote only the following verses.
“Now the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families reached the border of Edom, southward to the wilderness of Zin at the extreme south. Their south border was from the lower end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that turns to the south. Then it proceeded southward to the ascent of Akrabbim and continued to Zin, then went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea and continued to Hezron, and went up to Addar and turned about to Karka. It continued to Azmon and proceeded to the brook of Egypt, and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your south border. The east border was the Salt Sea, as far as the mouth of the Jordan. And the border of the north side was from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan. …” Joshua 15:1-5.
—————–
Great detail at length in defining the borders of Judah and the cities of Judah was given in Joshua chapter 15. Why?
Borders are important to the LORD. Another pillar of justice is enforceable borders. Borders protect against coveting and stealing. Borders also define whose responsibility it is to take care of the land within borders. Consider that it is commonly said: “Good fences make good neighbors.”
“You shall not move your neighbor’s boundary mark, which the ancestors have set, in your inheritance which you will inherit in the land that the LORD your God gives you to possess.” Deuteronomy 19:14.
“Do not move the ancient boundary
Which your fathers have set.” Proverbs 22:28.
“10 Do not move the ancient boundary
Or go into the fields of the fatherless,
11 For their Redeemer is strong;
He will plead their case against you.” Proverbs 23:10-11.
“The LORD will tear down the house of the proud,
But He will establish the boundary of the widow.” Proverbs 15:25.
