However, the concept of "camp" can be related to Greek terms like παρεμβολή (parembolē), meaning "camp" or "encampment."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Machanayim, meaning "two camps" or "double camp," is a location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is significant as a place where Jacob encountered angels of God and named it due to the presence of two camps—his own and that of the angels (Genesis 32:1-2). It later became a Levitical city and a place of refuge and strategic importance during the time of King David.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Machanayim was situated east of the Jordan River, in the region of Gilead. It served as a significant site during various biblical narratives. In the patriarchal period, it was a place of divine encounter for Jacob. During the monarchy, it became a royal city and a center of political activity. It was notably the place where Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, was made king over Israel (2 Samuel 2:8-9) and where David fled during Absalom's rebellion (2 Samuel 17:24).<div class="vheading2">NAS
