According to Moses, who wrote this book, it's wrong to move the stones or markers that show where your neighbor's land begins. Everyone should agree and say, "Yes, that's right!"

Deuteronomy 27:17: Cursed [be] he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Contradiction with Proverbs 23:10

This verse advises not to remove the landmarks which aligns with Deuteronomy 27:17, rather than contradicting it.

Proverbs 23:10: Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: [landmark: or, bound]

Paradox #1

The contradiction could be seen in how this verse focuses on the importance of respecting property boundaries, yet there are other parts of the Bible where land is taken from others, sometimes through violence. This might seem inconsistent because the respect for boundaries is not always applied universally.
