Does a dwelling located outside the city but within 70 amot and two-thirds cause the boundary to be measured from it rather than from the city?
Synopsis
An isolated dwelling within 70 amot and two-thirds of the city (the side of a two-beit-se'ah square) is incorporated into the city for teḥum purposes. The Mechaber and Rema dispute whether the 2000 amot are measured directly from the dwelling or from 70 amot beyond the city as aligned to the dwelling.
