Strong's Lexicon machaneh: Camp, encampment, army, host Original Word: מַחֲנֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָנָה (chanah), meaning "to encamp" or "to pitch a tent." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3925 (parembolē): Often used in the Septuagint to translate "machaneh," referring to a camp or barracks. Usage: The Hebrew word "machaneh" primarily refers to a camp or encampment, often used in the context of military settings. It can denote a temporary settlement of people, such as the Israelites during their wilderness journey, or an army prepared for battle. The term is also used metaphorically to describe a group or company of people united for a common purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a "machaneh" was central to the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites, especially during their 40-year journey in the wilderness. The camp was organized around the Tabernacle, with the tribes of Israel encamped in a specific order as described in the Book of Numbers. This arrangement symbolized order, community, and the presence of God among His people. In a military context, a "machaneh" was a strategic assembly of troops, reflecting the importance of unity and preparedness in warfare.
