ge.vul denotes a bounded territory or its limiting line, including property markers, national limits, and built edges.

The term most often marks the extent of a land, people, city, or kingdom, whether it is traversed, recovered, enlarged, or filled throughout. It also names a limiting line or marker for land and natural features, and in Ezekiel’s measurements it identifies the edge around a constructed space.

1. Territorial extent or domain · dominant

   Construct forms occur with named lands and peoples: in 1 Samuel 7:13 the APB renders the Philistines as no longer entering Israel’s “territory,” while 2 Kings 14:25 describes Israel’s extent from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah. The same use frames expansion in Deuteronomy 12:20 and Ammon’s effort to enlarge its extent in Amos 1:13.

2. Limiting line or marked boundary · common

   The term identifies a line that may be crossed, fixed, or moved. In Deuteronomy 19:14 the APB renders a neighbor’s “boundary” as something not to move, and Deuteronomy 3:16 describes the middle of the Arnon torrent as a boundary; Jeremiah 5:22 likewise presents sand as the limit the sea cannot cross.

3. Edge around a measured structure · occasional

   In the temple-measurement material, absolute singular forms designate an edge around built features. Ezekiel 40:12 gives a one-cubit border before the chambers, and Ezekiel 43:17 and Ezekiel 43:20 place it around the enclosure where blood is applied.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB variously uses “territory,” “border,” and “boundary,” and in Ezekiel 43:17 it renders the measured feature as “the border around it.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings show the clauses’ presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
