AMP Footnotes
Each of the twelve tribes had a colored banner. The tribes were organized into groups of three. The leading tribe in each triad had a standard representing their group.
The standard of the tribes of Judah contained the picture of a lion.
The standard of the tribes headed by Reuben contained the picture of a man.
The standard of the tribes headed by Ephraim contained the picture of an ox.
The standard of the tribes headed by Dan contained the picture of an eagle.
The symbol on the various tribal standards seems important in view of the cherubim of Ezek 1:10, and in view of the living creatures of Rev 4:7. God was present in each of these settings.
