The Notzrim (Notsrim) in Torah?
Israeltekhelet's question is "Were there Christians in the wilderness with Israel?", but his REAL question is, "Why is the nun for the word 'natzar' ('keeping') enlarged?"
His question posted elsewhere:

No mention of the Nun in Rashi:

Blue Letter Bible doesn't reveal an enlarged nun, but that doesn't mean much, since that resource may not even enlarge the letters of the text where they occur:

נצר natzar where it occurs:

I'm wondering if the answer has something to do with Daniel Bomberg's "Great Rabbinic Bible":
