309 - PLOWING A VALLY IN WHICH THE RITE OF EGLAH ARUFAH HAS BEEN PERFORMED

Declaring that the object of the law concerning “the heifer whose neck is to be broken” is to discover the murderer, Maimonides writes: “Force is added to the law by the rule that the place in which the neck of the heifer is broken should never be cultivated or sown. The owner of the land will therefore use all means to search and to find the murderer, in order that the heifer be not killed and his land be not made useless to him.”*
