Lines

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Psalms 16:6, "the lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places," namely, the measuring cords or lines, hence my allotment (Amos 7:17). Micah 2:5, "none that shall cast a cord by lot (i.e. none that shall have any possession measured out) in the congregation of the Lord" (see margin 1 Chronicles 16:18; Psalms 105:11). Argob is always designated by chebel or cord, i.e. well-defined region. (See ARGOB.)
