English

One whose husband [who was] with her, was impaled in the [same] city [wherein she dwells], or his wife [who was] with him, was impaled in the [same] city [wherein he dwells], or [if such is the case with] one's father or mother, and the flesh [of the corpse] had not yet entirely wasted away, — [the law is that the near-of-kin] should not dwell therein, But if the flesh became entirely decomposed, or if the corpse was interred, this ruling does not apply — Perisha. The law stated here applies only if the impaled person is within city limits — BaḤ. unless it was as large as Antioch,). where some [people] do not know others; and one should not dwell on this side, but [rather] on the other side. VI, 11; Asheri and RaN to M.K. 27b.
