'City' in the Bible

the priest must order that the stones with the contamination be pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.

He is to have the inside of the house completely scraped, and the plaster that is scraped off must be dumped in an unclean place outside the city.

It must be torn down with its stones, its beams, and all its plaster, and taken outside the city to an unclean place.

Then he is to release the live bird into the open countryside outside the city. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.

“If a man sells a residence in a walled city, his right of redemption will last until a year has passed after its sale; his right of redemption will last a year.

If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its purchaser throughout his generations. It is not to be released on the Jubilee.

Whatever property one of the Levites can redeem—a house sold in a city they possess—must be released at the Jubilee, because the houses in the Levitical cities are their possession among the Israelites.
