The Measure of Beit HaPras
Question
As is known, there is a law of Beit HaPras for a field where a grave has been lost. My question is: What is the measure of the area where it can be said that a grave has been lost and the entire area becomes Beit HaPras? If someone knows for certain that a person was buried in the land but does not know where, does the entire land become Beit HaPras?
Answer
The measure is one hundred cubits by one hundred cubits
