If someone was forcibly removed from the techum or exited inadvertently, and is then returned to the techum, what are his movement limits?
Synopsis
One who was forced out of the techum — by non-Jews, an evil spirit, or other involuntary means — or who exited inadvertently, has only four amot while outside. But if he is returned to within the techum, he is treated as if he never left. If he willfully returns, he has only four amot.
