Judges 11:15-18

15to tellH559 him, “This is whatH3541 JephthahH3316 saysH559: IsraelH3478 did notH3808 take awayH3947 the landH776 of MoabH4124 or of the AmmonitesH5983. 16ButH3588 when Israel came upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, they traveledH1980 through the wildernessH4057 toH5704 the RedH5488 SeaH32201 and cameH935 to KadeshH6946. 17Then IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 toH413 the kingH4428 of EdomH123, sayingH559, ‘PleaseH4994 let us passH5674 through your landH776,’ but the kingH4428 of EdomH123 would notH3808 listenH8085. They alsoH1571 sentH7971 messengers toH413 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, but he would notH3808 consentH14. So IsraelH3478 stayedH3427 in KadeshH6946.

18Then Israel traveledH1980 through the wildernessH4057 and bypassedH5437 the landsH776 of EdomH123 andH853 MoabH4124. They cameH935 toH4217 the east sideH8121 of the landH776 of MoabH4124 and campedH2583 on the other sideH5676 of the ArnonH769. But they did notH3808 enterH935 the territoryH1366 of MoabH4124, sinceH3588 the ArnonH769 was its borderH1366.
