Read this verse after [Numbers 10:36](../../../kjv/numbers/10/36) . See following note.

**([Numbers 10:35-36](../../../kjv/numbers/10/35-36)** **)** 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](../../../kjv/numbers/10/35) and [Numbers 10:36](../../../kjv/numbers/10/36) are thus enclosed to show that [Numbers 10:34](../../../kjv/numbers/10/34) should follow [Numbers 10:36](../../../kjv/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](../../../kjv/psalms/107/23-28) .
**Rise up.** A beautiful prayer. Compare [Psalms 3:7](../../../kjv/psalms/3/7) ; [Psalms 7:6](../../../kjv/psalms/7/6) ; [Psalms 10:12](../../../kjv/psalms/10/12) ; [Psalms 17:13](../../../kjv/psalms/17/13) ; [Psalms 44:26](../../../kjv/psalms/44/26) .
