# God confused the Midianites
|
|
|

God caused the Midianites to be confused. They wanted to attack the Israelites, but instead, they attacked each other.

|
|
# so that they started attacking and killing each other
|
|
|
|
The connecting word "so" connects the reason—God confused the Midianites, with the result—they started attacking and killing each other. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-connectingwords]])

# many other Israelites

This could be translated as, “many other Israelite men.” This refers to the soldiers previously sent home in [16:10](16/10).

# 120,000
|
|
|

This could also be written as numerals: "one hundred twenty thousand." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])
