Exegesis
The construct phrase gevul artzekha {גְּב֣וּל אַרְצְךָ | gə·ḇul ʾăr·ṣə·ḵā} ‘boundary of your land’ is modified by the relative clause asher yanchilekha YHWH elohekha {אֲשֶׁר יַנְחִֽילְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ | ’ă·šer yan·ḥî·lê·ḵā Yə·hō·wāh ʾĕ·lō·hê·ḵā}, attributing ownership to divine agency.
In context — Deuteronomy 19:3
You shall prepare the way for yourself and divide the territory within the boundary of your land into three parts that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that every killer may flee there.
