Men, base fellows, have gone out from your midst and have led astray the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” that you have not known.
English: “From your midst” — and not from the border.
On the daf / in context: A city on the frontier of Eretz Yisrael is not subject to the full law of ir ha-nidachas, lest the surrounding nations take the opportunity to attack.
Type of Learning
Derash on the verse (Sanhedrin) — frontier cities are excluded from the full law of the condemned city.
What Is Learned
A city on the border is not treated as an ir ha-nidachas in the same way as an interior city.
