Gill's Notes on the Bible
Remove not the old landmark,.... :-;
and enter not into the fields of the fatherless; to carry off the increase of them, to reap their wheat, or mow their grass, or turn in cattle to eat it; or to encroach upon them, take in any part of them, or join the whole to their own; for if there is a woe to them that lay field to field, much more to them that enter into and take the fields of the fatherless, and join them to their own, Isaiah 5:8.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 23:10. Remove not the old landmark — See the preceding chapter, Proverbs 22:28.
Enter not into the fields of the fatherless — Take nothing that belongs to an orphan. The heaviest curse of God will fall upon them that do so.
