Strong's Lexicon dagal: To look, behold, or to banner Original Word: דָּגַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "dagal," the concept of a banner or standard can be related to Greek terms like "σημαία" (sēmaia), meaning a sign or standard, used in contexts of identification and gathering. Usage: The Hebrew verb "dagal" primarily conveys the idea of looking or beholding with a sense of admiration or recognition. It is often associated with the concept of a banner or standard, symbolizing a rallying point or a sign of identity and pride. In the context of the Bible, it can imply the act of raising a banner or standard, which serves as a signal or emblem for gathering or identification. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, banners and standards were significant in military and tribal contexts. They were used to identify different groups, tribes, or military units, serving as a focal point during battles or gatherings. The imagery of a banner often carried connotations of protection, leadership, and unity. In the biblical context, banners could symbolize God's protection and the identity of His people.
