How did the children of Israel move out when they broke camp in the wilderness?
The children of Israel did not move as a disorganized mob. They moved out like an organized army, with all the tribes arranged in their rightful order, forming an orderly procession rather than a hobnob of masses, because God is a God of order.
Les explains that when Israel hoisted camp and got ready to move, the several million did not go like a mob. They moved out like an organized army, with all the tribes in their rightful order; it was not a hobnob of masses but an orderly procession. He repeatedly says, “He’s a God of order.” The same principle appears in temple worship, where prescribed ways governed everything, and in Paul’s teaching on the resurrections in I Corinthians chapter 15: every man in his own order, an orderly resurrection rather than a jumbled affair.
