Strong's Lexicon nes: Banner, standard, ensign, signal Original Word: נֵס Word Origin: Derived from the root נָסַס (nasas), meaning "to be high" or "to lift up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4592 (σημεῖον, sēmeion): Often translated as "sign" or "miracle," indicating a divine signal or wonder. - G4744 (στρατόπεδον, stratopedon): Refers to a camp or army, sometimes used in the context of a rallying point. Usage: The Hebrew word "nes" primarily refers to a banner or standard that is lifted up as a signal or rallying point. It is often used in the context of military or communal gatherings, serving as a visible sign to guide or unite people. In a broader sense, it can symbolize a divine sign or miracle, representing God's intervention or presence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, banners were significant in both military and religious contexts. They were used to organize tribes during travel and battle, serving as a point of reference and unity. Banners also held religious significance, symbolizing God's protection and guidance. The concept of a "nes" as a divine sign is rooted in the belief that God actively participates in the lives of His people, providing direction and assurance.
