Deuteronomy 2:15

2:15 Indeed, it was the very hand of the Lord that eliminated them from within ¹  the camp until they were all gone.

Deuteronomy 23:11

23:11 When evening arrives he must wash himself with water and then at sunset he may reenter the camp.

[2:15]  ¹ tn Heb “from the middle of.” Although many recent English versions leave this expression untranslated, the point seems to be that these soldiers did not die in battle but “within the camp.”
