The concept of a fence is woven throughout Scripture, illustrating both physical and spiritual truths. Physical Fences Fences in the ancient Near East were primarily constructed to protect property, livestock, and crops. They were typically made from stones, wood, or thorny bushes. In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, fences were essential for safeguarding vineyards and fields from animals and thieves. The prophet Isaiah references such protective measures: "My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. He dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a watchtower in the middle of it and carved out a winepress as well" (<a href="/isaiah/5.htm">Isaiah 5:1-2</a>). This passage highlights the care and effort invested in protecting valuable resources. Symbolic Fences Fences also carry a symbolic meaning in Scripture, often representing God's protection and the boundaries He sets for His people. In the book of Job, Satan acknowledges God's protective "hedge" around Job: "Have You not placed a hedge on every side around him and his household and all that he owns?" (<a href="/job/1-10.htm">Job 1:10</a>). This divine fence signifies God's safeguarding presence and blessing over Job's life. Moreover, fences can symbolize the separation between the holy and the profane. In Ezekiel's vision of the new temple, a wall separates the sacred space from the common: "He measured the wall surrounding the temple complex; it was one rod thick and one rod high" (<a href="/ezekiel/40-5.htm">Ezekiel 40:5</a>). This wall serves as a boundary, demarcating the holiness of God's dwelling place. Moral and Spiritual Boundaries The concept of a fence extends to moral and spiritual boundaries, as seen in the laws and commandments given to Israel. These divine instructions act as fences, guiding the Israelites in righteous living and keeping them from sin. <a href="/psalms/119-9.htm">Psalm 119:9-11</a> reflects this idea: "How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word. I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You." New Testament Perspective In the New Testament, the metaphor of a fence or wall is used to describe the division between Jews and Gentiles, which Christ came to abolish. <a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14</a> states, "For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility." Here, the "dividing wall" represents the separation that existed under the Old Covenant, which Jesus dismantled through His sacrificial death, creating unity among believers. Conclusion Throughout the Bible, fences serve as powerful symbols of protection, separation, and divine boundaries. They remind believers of God's provision, the importance of holiness, and the unity found in Christ.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(Hebrews gader), <a href="/numbers/22-24.htm">Numbers 22:24</a> (R.V.).
