Komentarz do Kelim 1:7
עֲיָרוֹת הַמֻּקָּפוֹת חוֹמָה מְקֻדָּשׁוֹת מִמֶּנָּה, שֶׁמְּשַׁלְּחִים מִתּוֹכָן אֶת הַמְּצֹרָעִים, וּמְסַבְּבִין לְתוֹכָן מֵת עַד שֶׁיִּרְצוּ. יָצָא, אֵין מַחֲזִירִין אוֹתוֹ:
Miasta otoczone murami są jeszcze bardziej święte, ponieważ muszą wysłać metzoraim spośród siebie i mogą nosić tam zwłoki tak daleko, jak to konieczne, ale gdy zostanie zabrane, nie mogą go przynieść z powrotem.
Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
עיירות המוקפות חומה –[cities surrounded by a wall] from the days of Joshua son of Nun. That regarding a leper it is written (Leviticus 13:46): “[He shall be impure as long as the disease is on him. Being impure, he shall dwell apart;] his dwelling shall be outside the camp,” outside of the camp of Israel. But when Joshua conquered the Land, he sanctified the cities/towns that were surround by a wall in his days that they would be like the camp of Israel to send off from there the lepers.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
Cities that are walled are holier, for metzoras must be sent out of them and a corpse, though it may be carried about within them as long as it is desired, may not be brought back once it has been taken out. There are two halakhot that make walled cities holier than non-walled cities. First of all, metzoras must be sent out of walled cities. This is based loosely on Leviticus 13:46 which states that a metzora must be sent out of the "camp." The second halakhah is that a corpse may not be brought into a walled city. However, a corpse that is already in a walled city need not be removed quickly.
