Exegesis
The comparative construction ka-asher…ken {כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר…כֵּ֣ן | ka-ʾă-šer…kēn} links encampment (yachanu {יַחֲנוּ֙} ‘they encamp’) with departure (yissau {יִסָּ֔עוּ} ‘they will set out’), highlighting Israel’s ordered procession.
In context — Numbers 2:17
And the tent of meeting and the camp of the Levites will set out in the midst of the camps; just as they encamp, so they will set out, each person at his post under his standard.
