From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Encamp
    An encampment was the resting-place for a longer or shorter
    period of an army or company of travellers (Ex. 13:20; 14:19;
    Josh. 10:5; 11:5).
      The manner in which the Israelites encamped during their march
    through the wilderness is described in Num. 2 and 3. The order
    of the encampment (see CAMP) was preserved in the
    march (Num. 2:17), the signal for which was the blast of two
    silver trumpets. Detailed regulations affecting the camp for
    sanitary purposes are given (Lev. 4:11, 12; 6:11; 8:17; 10:4, 5;
    13:46; 14:3; Num. 12:14, 15; 31:19; Deut. 23:10, 12).
      Criminals were executed without the camp (Lev. 4:12; comp.
    John 19:17, 20), and there also the young bullock for a
    sin-offering was burnt (Lev. 24:14; comp. Heb. 13:12).
      In the subsequent history of Israel frequent mention is made
    of their encampments in the time of war (Judg. 7:18; 1 Sam.
    13:2, 3, 16, 23; 17:3; 29:1; 30:9, 24). The temple was sometimes
    called "the camp of the Lord" (2 Chr. 31:2, R.V.; comp. Ps.
    78:28). The multitudes who flocked to David are styled "a great
    host (i.e., "camp;" Heb. mahaneh), like the host of God" (1 Chr.
    12:22).
