  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.).
