Exegesis
The spatial adverb saviv {סָבִיב | sā-vîv} ‘around’ followed by lamachaneh {לַמַּחֲנֶה | la-mma-ḥă-neh} ‘the camp’ specifies location. English renders the Hebrew wayyiqtol sequence with connected temporal clauses and subject–verb order to preserve narrative momentum.
Root and etymology
ch-n-hcheth-nun-he

In context — Exodus 16:13
And it happened in the evening that the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning a layer of dew lay around the camp.
