Judges 11:16-18
New Century Version
16 When the Israelites came out of Egypt, they went into the desert to the Red Sea and then to Kadesh. 17 Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Let the people of Israel go across your land.’ But the king of Edom refused. We sent the same message to the king of Moab, but he also refused. So the Israelites stayed at Kadesh.
18 “Then the Israelites went into the desert around the borders of the lands of Edom and Moab. Israel went east of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon River, the border of Moab. They did not cross it to go into the land of Moab.

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.
