Números 31:14 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 31:14

And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host
The general officers who had the command of the army, for there does not appear to be anyone that was one general over the whole, otherwise the displeasure would have fallen upon him:

[with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which
came from the battle;
rather "with" should be left out, not being in the text; and these captains only explain who the officers were, and these were one hundred and thirty two, as Aben Ezra observes; twelve who were captains over thousands, and were more properly the general officers; and one hundred and twenty over so many hundreds, into which the whole were subdivided.

14 Pero Moisés se enfureció con los generales y los capitanes

15 «¿Por qué dejaron con vida a las mujeres? —les reclamó—.

16 Precisamente son ellas las que, siguiendo el consejo de Balaam, incitaron al pueblo de Israel a rebelarse contra el Señor
en el monte Peor. Son ellas las que causaron la plaga que hirió al pueblo del Señor
