Judges 11:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ When my people came up out of Egypt, Israel passed through the desert to the Red Sea and on to Kadesh. ¹⁷ At that time, Israel sent a messenger to the king of Edom, asking for permission to travel through his country. But the king would not hear us. Israel also sent a request to the king of Moab, but he also refused. So Israel remained where they were, at Kadesh.

¹⁸ Then they traveled through the wilderness, passing around the lands of Edom and Moab; and on the eastern edge of Moab, they camped on the far bank of the Arnon, well outside the border of Moab.
