Significance: Hosea 5:10 accuses Judah's leaders of being "like those who move a boundary marker" (כְּמַסִּיגֵי גְּבוּל, kemasigey gevul), directly echoing Deuteronomy 19:14's prohibition: "You must not move your neighbor's boundary marker" (לֹא תַסִּיג גְּבוּל רֵעֲךָ). Both texts use the verb סוּג/נָסַג (sug/nasag) with גְּבוּל (gevul, "boundary"). Deuteronomy's law protected inherited land allotments established by God's distribution; moving boundary stones was theft of divinely apportioned inheritance. Hosea applies this concrete agrarian law metaphorically to Judah's political and territorial encroachments, suggesting that Judah's leaders have violated the divinely established boundaries between the kingdoms, acting as land-grabbers during Israel's military weakness.

Significance: Deuteronomy 19:14 prohibits moving a neighbor's boundary marker (גְּבוּל, gevul), which protects the ancestral land inheritance established by God. Hosea 5:10 indicts Judah's leaders as "those who move boundary markers" (כְּמַסִּיגֵי גְּבוּל, kemasige gevul), using the Deuteronomic offense as a prophetic metaphor. Hosea compares Judah's princes to land thieves—they encroach on what does not belong to them, whether territorial expansion at Israel's expense or violation of divinely established covenant boundaries. The prophet's use of this specific Deuteronomic crime transforms a property law into an indictment of political and spiritual boundary violations, threatening that God will "pour out My wrath on them like water."
