In the NWT those "scholarly" translators have rendered the Hebrew word-degel- as "three tribe division" when its literal meaning according to Strong and Vine is flag,standard or banner.Why do this.Did it have any connection with the flag salute issue in the USA? I know the Israelites camped in groups of four around the tabernacle, so yes,they would have been in a three tribe division but the NWT rendering seems to have been done for some other agenda.

The WT doesn't want people to know that the Jews had banners. It could lead people to believe that flags are o.k. and they simply can't have that. Someone might want to put one in the Kingdom Hall. LOL
