MISHNAH: One forces him to build a porter’s lodge and a door for the courtyard. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, not all courtyards are appropriate for a porter’s lodge. One forces him to build a wall for the town with double doors and bolt. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, not all towns are appropriate for a wall. How long does he have to stay in a town to be like an inhabitant of the town? Twelve months; if he bought an apartment he immediately is an inhabitant of the town.

HALAKHAH: “One forces him to build,” etc. Rebbi La said: So it is; the way of a provident person is to build himself a wall, as it is said: “The wealth of the rich is the fortification of his might, etc.” It was stated: “If he stayed there for thirty days he is like the townspeople for the charity chest, for clothing six months, for assessments and penalties twelve months.” After all these, was twelve months said only for assessments and penalties? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said for Passover wheat, both to take and to give.
