Exegesis
Mithallekh {מִתְהַלֵּךְ | miṯ-hă-lê-ḵ} ‘walking about’, a Hitpael participle, conveys ongoing divine movement within the camp (bekerev machanecha {בְּקֶרֶב מַחֲנֶךָ | bə-qê-reḇ mā-ḥă-nê-ḵā}).
In context — Deuteronomy 23:14
For the LORD your God moves about in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to give your enemies before you. Therefore, your camp must be holy , so that He will not see among you any nakedness of a thing and turn away from after you.
