In any society some recognised system of authority is essential; it is part of God’s plan for our good (Romans 13:1-5). It determines who has the right to take action and tell others what to do. It applies in the workplace, civic society, the military ... and in homes too. Religious groups also need an authority structure; and Israel was no exception. God had divided the nation into tribal groupings with land entitlements, a leadership structure which was scaled according to ability (Exodus 18:21), and a complex system of civil laws and religious practices.
