A quarter of the area of the corners.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' No open space being allowed along the limits. Cf. previous note, the Tosaf. cited and Rashi s.v. a.l. The area of each corner being 4,000,000 sq. cubits and the area of the open space in each corner being 1,000,000 sq. cubits the latter area equals (1,000,000/4,000,000 =) 1/4 'a quarter' of that of the former in each corner. The total area of the corners equals 4 X 4,000,000 while the total area of open spaces in these corners equals 4 X 1,000,000 the proportion of the latter to the former is, therefore, 4 X 1,000,000/4 X 4,000,000 = 1/4 which is also 'a quarter'.');"><sup>8</sup></span> Said Rabina to R'Ashi: Is it not written i Scripture: 'round about'?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Num.

Chapter 2, Note 82).,” etc. Rav Ḥuna in the name of [Rav]101Missing in L, inserted from the quote of the text by Rashba, col. 334. Rav Huna is not known to have had any teacher but Rav.: Rebbi Meïr and the rabbis explain the same verse. Rebbi Meïr explained: From the city wall, why does the verse say, outwards102Num. 35:4, Babli 57a. He reads the verse that one does not start measuring from the city wall but somewhere outside. The definition of “outside” is given over to the rabbinic authorities.? From here that one gives a fore-court to the city. The rabbis explained, outwards, why does the verse say, from the city wall? From that one does (not)103This was written by the scribe but (wrongly) deleted by the corrector who then (wrongly) inserted the relative pronoun in the following space. give a fore-court to the city104They read the word as stating that one measures outward at a right angle to the wall, starting from the wall.. Does this not mean that one gives a fore-court to the city105This refers to the second part of Mishnah 2, where it is stated that two villages less than 141⅓ cubits apart are considered a single village for the rules of the Sabbath.
