Smith's Bible Dictionary

Beacon

A signal or conspicuous mark erected on an eminence for direction. (Isaiah 30:17)

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

BEACON

be'-k'-n. The translation of the Hebrew toren, which usually means "mast" (compare Isaiah 33:23 Ezekiel 27:5), but in Isaiah 30:17 being used in parallelism with "ensign" the meaning may be "signal-staff" (Isaiah 30:17 the American Revised Version, margin "pole").

Easton's Bible Dictionary

A pole (Hebrews to'ren) used as a standard or ensign set on the tops of mountains as a call to the people to assemble themselves for some great national purpose (Isaiah 30:17). In Isaiah 33:23 and Ezek. 27:5, the same word is rendered "mast." (see Banner.)
