Levi flag: the Choshen.
| Bamidbar / Numbers 1:52 | And the Children of Israel set up camp in groups [by tribe], each man under the colors [of the tribal flag]. | וְחָנוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ עַל־מַחֲנֵהוּ וְאִישׁ עַל־דִּגְלוֹ לְצִבְאֹתָם׃ |
| 1:53 | But the Levi tribe camped around the Mishkan in order to avoid community strive, and protected the Mishkan. | וְהַלְוִיִּם יַחֲנוּ סָבִיב לְמִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדֻת וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה קֶצֶף עַל־עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְשָׁמְרוּ הַלְוִיִּם אֶת־מִשְׁמֶרֶת מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדוּת׃ |
| 2:2 | …the Children of Israel camped around the Tent of Meeting…. | …יַחֲנוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִנֶּגֶד סָבִיב לְאֹהֶל־מוֹעֵד יַחֲנוּ׃ |
| 2:17 | With the Levi tribe in the center, with the Tent of Meeting, carried by the Levi tribe. Each mane under his [ancestral] flag. | וְנָסַע אֹהֶל־מוֹעֵד מַחֲנֵה הַלְוִיִּם בְּתוֹךְ הַמַּחֲנֹת כַּאֲשֶׁר יַחֲנוּ כֵּן יִסָּעוּ אִישׁ עַל־יָדוֹ לְדִגְלֵיהֶם׃ |
