Fifty years is not so long as you make out - Reuven and Shimon are adults when the first transaction takes place, so 50 years means their children are middle-aged/old when the next Yovel comes around. Not too hard to remember.<BR/><BR/>2. It's an agrarian society - not much mobility. Shimon and his descendents have spent all this time in the nearby town.<BR/><BR/>3. A whole lot of Shimon's kinsmen are interested in this property, and maintain the memory of the sale even if they can't redeem it for Shimon. If Reuven is from another tribe or clan - he will still be a "stranger" a mere generation or 2 after the sale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-1116883456063756452005-05-23T17:24:00.000-04:002005-05-23T17:24:00.000-04:00Thanks.
