Exegesis
The spatial expression ʾel-mīḥûṣ {אֶל־מִח֥וּץ | ʾel-mīḥûṣ} ‘to outside’ and lammaḥanê {לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֖ה | lammaḥanê} ‘to the camp’ underscores complete exclusion from the central worship space.
In context — Numbers 5:3
From male to female you shall send them away outside the camp so that they do not defile their camp, which I dwell among them.
