Numbers 10:36

These two verses are marked Hebrew Manuscripts by "inverted Nuns", i.e. the Hebrew letter (n) inverted and used as brackets, to show that Numbers 10:35 and Numbers 10:36 are thus enclosed to show that Numbers 10:34 should follow Numbers 10:36 . This is shown by the Structure:

33 | The setting forth of the ark. 35 | "Rise up, O Jehovah" Words 36 | "Return, O Jehovah" Spoken. 34 | The setting forth of the cloud.

There are eight of these inverted nuns. See notes on Psalms 107:23-28 .

Return. Either, Return, O Jehovah; or, Cause to return. Compare Deuteronomy 30:3 .Psalms 14:7 ; Psalms 126:1 . The former better. Compare Exodus 33:14-16 .
