Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Leviticus 25:30

The house that is in the walled city— In the Hebrew it is, in a city that hath not a wall: but because this seems contrary to the former, it is written and noted in the margin of our English Bibles to be read, hath a wall. See chap. Leviticus 11:22 for a like double reading. And it seems that the meaning is, that if it were in a city which some time had a wall, but for the present had none, or a very ruinous one, (as was the case of Jerusalem, 2 Kings 25:10.) then the order here given should stand for the sale of the house.
