‘Cursed is he who moves his neighbor’s boundary stone.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’
When the law was written, to be seen and read by all men, the sanctions of it were to be published, which, to complete the solemnity of their covenanting with God, they were deliberately to declare their approbation of. This they were before directed to do (Deu 11:29, Deu 11:30), and therefore the appointment here begins somewhat abruptly, Deu 27:12.
Commenting on Deuteronomy 27:11-26
Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark,.... Removes it backward, and steals ground, as Jarchi explains it; this is commonly done secretly; see Deu 19:14, and all the people shall say Amen; See Gill on Deu 27:15; See Gill on Deu 27:16.
Cursed [be] he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen. (k) He condemns all injuries and extortions.
