It can also denote a barracks or a fortified area where troops are gathered. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the community or assembly of believers, drawing a parallel to the organized and purposeful gathering of an army.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, military camps were essential for the organization and strategy of armies. These encampments were not only places of rest but also centers of command and control. The concept of a camp was familiar to the Israelites, who camped around the Tabernacle during their wilderness journey. In the Roman world, military camps were highly structured and served as a symbol of Roman order and power.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3925: παρεμβολή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παρεμβολή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">παρεμβολῆς</span>. <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">παρεμβάλλω</span>, which see); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">interpolation, insertion</span> (into a discourse of matters foreign to the subject in hand, <span class="abbreviation">Aeschines</span>). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> In the Maced. dialect (cf.
