Judges 11:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 For when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh. 17 Israel then sent messengers to the king of Edom saying, “Let me pass through your land.” But the king of Edom did not give consent.(A) They also sent to the king of Moab, but he too was unwilling. So Israel remained in Kadesh.(B) 18 Then they went through the wilderness, and bypassing the land of Edom and the land of Moab, they arrived east of the land of Moab and encamped across the Arnon.(C) Thus they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon is the boundary of Moab.(D)

Judges 11:16-18
New International Version
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.
