wiles, craft, deceitful schemes (in warfare or deception)
Numbers 25:18 describes how the Midianites employed 'their wiles' against Israel through the incident at Peor—using sexual temptation and idolatry as weapons. The term denotes cunning, strategic deception, not mere lies but carefully planned schemes. The plural form suggests multiple tactics working in concert. Ancient Near Eastern warfare recognized that guile could accomplish what force could not; this vocabulary acknowledges the Midianites' sophisticated psychological and spiritual warfare that exploited Israel's weaknesses.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — This plural noun with suffix appears only in Numbers 25:18, describing Midianite stratagem. Spanish 'con engaños' (with deceits) and English 'wiles' both capture the deliberate, crafty nature of the deception. The cognate accusative construction intensifies the meaning—they 'wiled with their wiles.' The Peor incident showed how religious-sexual seduction proved more dangerous to Israel than military assault. 1×
