Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר | ’ă-sher} ‘which’ introduces a restrictive clause with Qal perfect asu {עָשׂוּ | ’a-sū} ‘they made/set’, where avoteikha {אֲבוֹתֶיךָ | ’ă-vo-tē-ḵā} ‘your fathers’ functions as subject. The Hebrew structure emphasizes generational inheritance and property integrity, with the imperative and relative clause preserving the original clause order in English.
In context — Proverbs 22:28
Do not shift the ancient boundary that your fathers set.
