The Israelites were divided into 12 tribes, and each tribe had its own flag. They camped in groups of three tribes on each side of the tabernacle. The Levites, who were special helpers, camped closest to the tabernacle.
The order of the tribes was important because it showed how God wanted them to be organized and work together. It also helped them remember their importance in God's plan.
