## In Jewish tradition

In this text, it means that letters were set out on a scroll. In the Psalms God gives a banner to those who fear Him to be "displayed" because of the truth, meaning raised up for all to see.

**Interpretation.** Tradition reads the banner as God's sign of protection for those who are faithful, lifted high for the sake of truth.

### Examples

- (3) nsD (Scroll), the material o.i which the letters were displayed. (Mordell, The Origin of Letters and Numerals according to Sefer Yetzirah (1914)) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/D/display/#x1)
