<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div><br /> <br /> (1.) The flag or banner of the larger kind, serving for three tribes marching together. These standards, of which there were four, were worked with embroidery and beautifully ornamented (Num. 1:52; 2:2, 3, 10, 18, 25; Cant. 2:4; 6:4, 10).<br /> <br /> (2.) The flag borne by each separate tribe, of a smaller form. Probably it bore on it the name of the tribe to which it belonged, or some distinguishing device (Num. 2:2,34).<br /> <br /> (3.) A lofty signal-flag, not carried about, but stationary. It was usually erected on a mountain or other lofty place. As soon as it was seen the war-trumpets were blown (Ps. 60:4; Isa. 5:26; 11:12; 13:2; 18:3; 30:17; Jer. 4:6 21; Ezek. 27:7).<br /> <br /> (4.) A &quot;sign of fire&quot; (Jer. 6:1) was sometimes used as a signal.<br /> <br /> The banners and ensigns of the Roman army had idolatrous images upon them, and hence they are called the &quot;abomination of desolation&quot; (q.v.). The principal Roman standard, however, was an eagle. (See Matt. 24:28; Luke 17:37, where the Jewish nation is compared to a dead body, which the eagles gather together to devour.)<br /> <br /> God's setting up or giving a banner (Ps. 20:5; 60:4; Cant. 2:4) imports his presence and protection and aid extended to his people.<br /> {{returnto}} [[Easton's Bible Dictionary]]</div>
