Border:
was primarily "the extremity or prominent part of a thing, an edge;" hence "the fringe of a garment, or a little fringe," hanging down from the edge of the mantle or cloak. The Jews had these attached to their mantles to remind them of the Law, according to Num 15:38, 39; Deu 22:12; Zec 8:23. This is the meaning in Mat 23:5. In Mat 9:20; 14:36; Mar 6:56; Luk 8:44, it is used of the border of Christ's garment (AV "hem," in the first two places).
See HEM.

Border:
"the border of a country or district" (cp. Eng., "horizon"), is always used in the plural. The AV has "coasts," but "borders" in Mat 4:13; the RV always "borders," Mat 2:16; 4:13; 8:34; 15:22, 39; 19:1; Mar 5:17; 7:31 (twice); 10:1; Act 13:50. In some of these it signifies territory.
See COAST.
