From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ensign       (1.) Heb. 'oth, a military standard, especially of a single       tribe (Num. 2:2). Each separate tribe had its own "sign" or       "ensign."                (2.) Heb. nes, a lofty signal, as a column or high pole (Num.       21:8, 9); a standard or signal or flag placed on high mountains       to point out to the people a place of rendezvous on the       irruption of an enemy (Isa. 5:26; 11:12; 18:3; 62:10; Jer. 4:6,       21; Ps. 60:4). This was an occasional signal, and not a military       standard. Elevation and conspicuity are implied in the word.                (3.) The Hebrew word _degel_ denotes the standard given to       each of the four divisions of the host of the Israelites at the       Exodus (Num. 1:52; 2:2; 10:14). In Cant. 2:4 it is rendered       "banner." We have no definite information as to the nature of       these military standards. (See {BANNER}.)
