God's Organized Community
Commentators explain that this verse describes a highly organized camp structure. God didn't just gather a crowd; He arranged His people with purpose. Scholars like Ellicott and Gill note there were four main camps, each with its own 'standard' or banner, and every individual had a designated place within their tribe. This reflects a God of order, not chaos.
