Midrash for Sanhedrin 222:13
(דברים יג, יז) והיתה תל עולם לא תעשה גנות ופרדסים דברי ר' יוסי הגלילי ר"ע אומר לא תבנה עוד לכמות שהיתה אינה נבנית אבל נעשית היא גנות ופרדסים ולא ידבק בידך מאומה מן החרם שכל זמן שהרשעים בעולם חרון אף בעולם אבדו רשעים מן העולם נסתלק חרון אף מן העולם:
IF IT HAD NO PUBLIC SQUARE, ONE IS MADE FOR IT; IF IT WAS [SITUATED] WITHOUT [THE TOWN], IT IS BROUGHT WITHIN IT,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [By building a city wall outside it.] ');"><sup>24</sup></span> AS IT IS SAID, AND THOU SHALT BURN WITH FIRE THE CITY, AND ALL THE SPOIL THEREOF EVERY WHIT, FOR THE LORD THY GOD.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. Hence everything, including the market place, must be within the city. ');"><sup>25</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
From here they ruled: (The members of) an ass-caravan or a camel caravan that goes from place to place and rested within it, and they were turned astray with them — If it camped there for thirty days, they are put to death by the sword and their possessions are lost; if less than thirty days, they are put to death by stoning, and their possessions "escape."

Sifrei Devarim
(Ibid. 17:5) "Then you shall take out that man or that woman." Because we find that those who were incited are killed by the sword, I might think that the same applies to the inciters; it is, therefore, written (Ibid.) "the man or the woman and you shall stone them with stones and they shall die." Because we find that a "condemned city" is not declared through (the incitement of) an individual or of women, I might think that they are not liable (to the death penalty); it is, therefore, written (Ibid. 2) "a man or a woman who would do what is evil in the eyes of the L-rd your G-d, to break His covenant."
