In Jewish tradition

In the Torah the camp is the place where all Israel lived in the desert, with the holy tent in the middle and the tribes around it. Unclean things and people had to be put outside.

Interpretation. The rabbis saw the camp as having degrees of holiness: the tent, the Levites' camp, and Israel's camp. This is why sick or unclean people were kept outside the camp.
