Judges 11:15-18

15and they saidH559 to him, “ThusH3541 saysH559 JephthahH3316, ‘IsraelH3478 did not takeH3947 away the landH776 of MoabH4124 norH3808 the landH776 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983.

16For when they cameH5927 up from EgyptH4714, and IsraelH3478 1wentH1980 through the wildernessH4057 to the 2RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220 and 3cameH935 to KadeshH6946,

17then IsraelH3478 4sentH7971 messengersH4397 to the kingH4428 of EdomH112, sayingH559, “PleaseH4994 let us passH5674 through your landH776,” but the kingH4428 of EdomH112 would not listenH8085. 5And they alsoH1571 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, but he would not consentH14. So IsraelH3478 remainedH3427 at KadeshH6946.

18Then they wentH1980 through the wildernessH4057 and 6aroundH5437 the landH776 of EdomH112 and the landH776 of MoabH4124, and cameH935 to the eastH4217H8121 sideH4217H8121 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, and they campedH2583 beyondH5676 the ArnonH769; but they 7did not enterH935 the territoryH1366 of MoabH4124, for the ArnonH769 was the borderH1366 of MoabH4124.
