It’s very interesting how some words are used in so many different ways in the Bible. I attend a Bible study on the book of Hebrews. A month or so ago, the leader did an in-depth study on the word rest. As for the term landmark, it seems to have to do with a boundary which can be an enclosure or set a limit and more. One associated word I found interesting was twisted which was related to Iniquity in another KI course.
As for how does this apply to my life, I used to set boundaries and often didn’t let most people into my little space. The closer I grow to my church family, the more I find the boundaries disappearing.
When it comes to many unbelievers, I have found that there definitely are boundaries not to be crossed. I get excited about my studies here at KI and I seem to offend some people by even mentioning them. So I smile sweetly and, so to speak, temporarily shake the dust from my sandals and move on.
With thanks to e-sword and Strongs:

Deuteronomy 27:17, “Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.”
When Jacob was fleeing this father-in-law, Rachel had taken some of her father's idols. As I understand it, these were more than just pagan icons; they also established land boundaries.
