The Definition of the word Camp

Camp

During their journeys across the wilderness, the twelve tribes formed encampments at the different places where they halted (Ex. 16:13; Num. 2:3). The diagram here given shows the position of the different tribes and the form of the encampment during "the wanderings, according to Num. 1:53; 2:2-31; 3:29, 35, 38;" 10:13-28. "The area of the camp would be in all about 3 square miles. After "the Hebrews entered Palestine, the camps then spoken of were" "exclusively warlike (Josh. 11:5, 7; Judg. 5:19, 21; 7:1; 1 Sam." "29:1; 30:9, etc.)."
