'Camp' in the Bible
Now the time that it took for us to come from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the brook Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war perished from within the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them.
Moreover the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from within the camp until they all perished.
“If there is among you any man who is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, then he must go outside the camp; he may not reenter the camp.
But it shall be when evening approaches, he shall bathe himself with water, and at sundown he may reenter the camp.
“You shall also have a place outside the camp and go out there,
Since the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to defeat your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy; and He must not see anything indecent among you or He will turn away from you.
