This should do. I also include commented statements for the 
startnarrower issue.

    \setupdirections [bidi=on,method=two]
    %\setupdirections [bidi=on]
    \definelinenumbering[fail][location=text,width=.75em]
    \definestartstop[bloccitel][before={\startlinenumbering[fail]},
                                 after={\stoplinenumbering}]
    \starttext
    %\setupnarrower[left=3cm,right=2cm]
    %\startnarrower[left,right]
    Now, a quote block starting just there, \startbloccitel
    \input tufte
    \stopbloccitel . This a bit of text at the end of the quotation.
    %\stopnarrower
    \stoptext
