Proverbs23:10-11

Pro 23:10-11

The following proverb forms a new whole from component parts of Pro 22:28 and Pro 22:22.: 10 Remove not ancient landmarks;      And into the fields of orphans enter thou not. 11 For their Saviour is a mighty one;      He will conduct their cause against thee. בּוא ב separates itself here to the meaning of injuste invadere et occupare; French, empiéter sur son voisin, advance not into the ground belonging to thy neighbour (Fleischer). If orphans have also no goel among their kindred (Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, ἀγχιστεύς) to redeem by purchase (Lev 25:25) their inheritance that has passed over into the possession of another, they have another, and that a mighty Saviour, Redemptor, who will restore to them that which they have lost - viz. God (Jer 50:34) - who will adopt their cause against any one who has unjustly taken from them.
