Bible

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.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.

Specialty Definition: Ensign

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

An ensign is a distinguishing token, emblem, or badge such as symbols of office. In heraldry, it is the ornament or sign, such as the crown, coronet or mitre, borne above the charge or arms. The word is derived from the French enseigne from the Latin plural insignia and is more particularly used of a military or naval standard or banner.

In nautical use, an ensign is a flag usually flown at the stern of a ship or boat to indicate its nationality. Ensigns may also be flown from the gaff of a ship, and may be shifted to the yard-arm when the ship is underway.

In some countries, e.g. the United States of America and France the national ensign is identical to the national flag, while in others, e.g. the United Kingdom, there are special national flags for maritime use. See also British ensigns.

Until 1871 the lowest grade of commissioned officers in infantry regiments of the British army had the title of ensign (now replaced by that of second lieutenant). It is the duty of the officers of this rank to carry the colours of the regiment. In the 16th century "ensign" was corrupted into "ancient," and was used in the two senses of a banner and the bearer of the banner.

In the United States Navy, the title "ensign" superseded in 1862 that of "passed midshipman". It designates an officer ranking with second lieutenant in the army.
