Strong's Lexicon degel: Banner, Standard, Flag Original Word: דֶּגֶל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to look, perhaps related to the concept of a standard or banner that is visible from a distance. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a banner or standard can be related to Greek terms like "σημαία" (sēmaia), meaning a sign or signal. Usage: The Hebrew word "degel" primarily refers to a banner or standard, often used in the context of military or tribal organization. In the Bible, it signifies a rallying point or a symbol of identity and unity for a group, particularly the tribes of Israel during their wilderness journey. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, banners or standards were used to identify different groups, especially in military contexts. They served both practical and symbolic purposes, helping to organize large groups and instilling a sense of pride and identity. For the Israelites, the degel was a crucial part of their encampment and march, as each tribe had its own banner under which they camped and traveled.
