Jerusalem Talmud Eruvin

HALAKHAH: Paragraph. “One gives a fore-court to the city5One does not start to measure the 2’000 cubits outside the town from the wall of the (easternmost, northernmost, etc.) house but only at a distance of √5000 ~ 70⅔ cubits (cf.

This statement seems incompatible with the reading of the verse attributed to the rabbis..
