At least one significant aspect is that he references the camp to its location within the valley, and not at the river. This is in strict adherence, claims Nibley, to Arab custom; as is the fact that they flee from the mountains to the valley, rather than from the valley to the mountains. Lehi in the Desert is a good read for all of this stuff.
