Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father’s house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
Bible, numbers 2 2 (Kjv)

This biblical quote was often used by early modern writers on Heraldry as a proof of it’s antiquity in Europe.

Now considered debunked, the quote nevertheless stands as a proof of the antiquity of Jewish heraldry.
