Judges 11:16-18
International Standard Version
Judges 11:16-18
International Standard Version
16 Here’s what happened:[a] When Israel came up from Egypt, passed through the desert to the Red[b] Sea, and arrived at Kadesh, 17 Israel sent a delegation to the king of Edom and asked him, “Please let us pass through your territory.”
‘But the king of Edom wouldn’t listen. So they also sent word to the king of Moab, but he wouldn’t consent, either. So Israel stayed at Kadesh. 18 Then they went through the desert, circumventing the territory belonging to Edom and Moab. They encamped on the other side of the Arnon River, but never entered the territory of Moab because the Arnon River is the border of Moab.

16 But when they came up out of Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea[a](A) and on to Kadesh.(B) 17 Then Israel sent messengers(C) to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Give us permission to go through your country,’(D) but the king of Edom would not listen. They sent also to the king of Moab,(E) and he refused.(F) So Israel stayed at Kadesh.
18 “Next they traveled through the wilderness, skirted the lands of Edom(G) and Moab, passed along the eastern side(H) of the country of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon.(I) They did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was its border.
