# 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]])
