באתת - סימן היה בנס של כל דגל, כגון: בשל יהודה אריה. בשל יוסף שור.

**Eliyahu Munk, HaChut Hameshulash:**
באתות, there was a symbol on every flag, as for instance, the picture of a lion on the flag of the tribe of Yehudah, or that of an ox on the flag of the tribe of Joseph.

בתוך המחנות - שני דגלים נוסעים תחלה, ואחר כן המשכן והלוים, ואחר כן שני דגלים אחרונים.

**Eliyahu Munk, HaChut Hameshulash:**
בתוך המחנות, two flags (six tribes) would journey at the head followed by the parts of the Tabernacle and the Levites. These were followed by the last two flags (six tribes, there being a total of 4 flags.)

כאשר יחנו כן יסעו - בכל ענין שהם סביב למשכן הארבעה דגלים, כך היו סביב דרך הליכתם, ודרך ימין נמנו הדגלים מזרח ודרום מערב וצפון.

**Eliyahu Munk, HaChut Hameshulash:**
כאשר יחנו כן יסעו, in the order in which they made camp they would also begin their journeys. They would maintain a constant pattern during their journeys reflecting the pattern which they formed when encamped. When the “flags” are being mentioned the sequence always begins from the right in the order: east, south, west, north.
