'Encampments' in the Bible
These are Ishmael’s sons, and these are their names by their villages and encampments: 12 leaders of their clans.
Is the land they live in good or bad? Are the cities they live in encampments or fortifications?
Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites lived, as well as all their encampments,
For the Lord your God walks throughout your camp to protect you and deliver your enemies to you; so your encampments must be holy. He must not see anything improper among you or He will turn away from you.
therefore I am about to give you to the people of the east as a possession. They will set up their encampments and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.
