The land .. defined by its boundaries (Num. 34:2). God knows that we all need a sense a space for ourselves, and that’s why he defines limits for our lives. Boundaries - whether physical or emotional - help us respect ourselves and others; they are integral to the idea of inheritance. A city without walls is easily overrun, and so are our souls if we cannot say no to others or to restrain our impulses (Prov. 25:28). Boundaries give us a sense of place and direction; they help us stay centered, focused, and at home with ourselves. Those who willfully violate the boundaries of others violate the Torahs commandment not to steal, and therefore they deny the One who has ordained the sanctity of human life (Deut. 27:17).
