Exegesis
The infinitive construct liqrāʾām {לִקְרָאתָ֑ם | liqrāʾām} ‘to meet them’ indicates purpose, and the doubled prepositional phrase ʾel mîḥûṣ la-maḥănêh {אֶל־מִח֖וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה | ʾel mîḥûṣ la-maḥănêh} ‘to outside the camp’ specifies location with added emphasis. The sequence verb–subject–purpose–location guides the formal translation to reflect the original flow of action and setting.
In context — Numbers 31:13
And Moses, Eleazar the priest , and all the princes of the congregation went out to meet them outside the camp.
