In the New Testament, it is frequently used to denote the borders of a city, region, or country. The term can also imply the extent of an area under a particular jurisdiction or influence. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, boundaries were significant for defining the extent of a city-state, kingdom, or territory. They were often marked by physical landmarks or natural features such as rivers and mountains. Boundaries were crucial for maintaining order, establishing ownership, and defining political and cultural identity. In the context of Israel, boundaries were divinely ordained and held spiritual significance, as seen in the division of the Promised Land among the tribes.
