Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of a flag or signal in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Greek terms used in the Septuagint and New Testament, though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence. Some related Greek terms include σημεῖον (sēmeion), meaning "sign" or "signal," and σημαία (sēmaia), meaning "standard" or "banner." These terms capture the essence of a visible marker or indicator, similar to the Hebrew כֵּס.

Usage: The word כֵּס is used in the context of signaling or marking, often associated with a visible sign or banner. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote something that serves as a marker or identifier, such as a flag or sail.

Context: The Hebrew word כֵּס (kes) appears in the context of ancient Israelite culture, where visual signals were important for communication and identification. In the ancient Near East, flags and banners were used for various purposes, including military, ceremonial, and navigational functions. The term כֵּס is linked to the idea of covering or concealing, which may relate to the way a flag or sail covers a pole or mast. In the biblical narrative, such symbols could serve as rallying points or markers of identity for tribes or groups. The use of כֵּס in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of visual symbols in conveying messages and establishing presence or authority.
