nes is a standard raised visibly to signal, summon, gather, or mark a focal point.

1. A raised public standard or marker · dominant

   The masculine singular noun appears with actions of raising or seeing a visible signal: in Isaiah 11:12 the APB renders a banner raised for the nations before the outcasts and dispersed are gathered, and in Isaiah 5:26 it renders a banner raised for distant nations that then come swiftly. In Jeremiah 51:27 the raised marker stands alongside a trumpet blast and the summoning of kingdoms against Babylon; in Numbers 21:8 the APB renders a serpent set upon it so that those bitten may look and live.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the noun as “banner” in contexts of raising, seeing, or setting something upon it; Isaiah 30:17 also uses “flagstaff” before “banner.” In Psalm 60:6, the supplied translation does not visibly isolate a corresponding English rendering.
