Army:
lit., "a casting in among, an insertion" (para, "among," ballo, "to throw"), in the Macedonian dialect, was a military term. In the NT it denotes the distribution of troops in army formation, "armies," Hbr 11:34; a camp, as of the Israelites, Exd 19:17; 29:14; 32:17; hence, in Hbr 13:11, 13, of Jerusalem, since the city was to the Jews what the camp in the wilderness had been to the Israelites; in Rev 20:9, the "armies" or camp of the saints, at the close of the Millennium.
