Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G438, ἀκρογωνιαῖος (akrogōniaios), which means "cornerstone." While not a direct translation of מִגְבָּלָה, the concept of a cornerstone can metaphorically relate to boundaries and foundational limits within a structure, similar to how borders define the limits of a territory.

Usage: The term מִגְבָּלָה is used in the context of defining territorial limits or boundaries, often in reference to the borders of lands or regions.

Context: The Hebrew term מִגְבָּלָה (migbalah) appears in the context of delineating the borders of territories, particularly in the Old Testament. It is used to describe the physical boundaries that separate one region or land from another. This term is significant in the biblical narrative as it often pertains to the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The concept of borders is crucial in understanding the allocation of land, inheritance rights, and the fulfillment of divine promises regarding the land of Israel.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to emphasize the importance of defined borders in maintaining order and fulfilling God's covenant with His people. For example, in the division of the land among the tribes, specific borders are outlined to ensure each tribe receives its allotted inheritance. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty and the establishment of order within His creation.
