Inverted Nuns2026 Oct 22voices.sefaria.org
There occurs in the Torah only twice the glyph of the Hebrew letter nun written backwards, upside-down, twisted, or otherwise "inverted" (depending on the whims of whichever scribe produced that particular scroll). They are used to bracket two lines in Numbers 10: 35 and 36.
Interestingly, nobody can agree on why. Rabbis have been proposing answers to this mystery for literally thousands of years, and while many speak with the certainty gained from a lifetime of Torah study (such as Rashi suggesting the Inverted Nuns bracket a portion of text displaced), that there remains disagreement is interesting. Like the big letters, the Inverted Nuns likely will remain an unsolved quirk of the text.
