Judges 11:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ They said:

“This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take the land of Moab or Ammon. ¹⁶ When the Israelites came up out of Egypt, they went through the ·desert [wilderness] to the Red Sea and then to Kadesh. ¹⁷ Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Please let ·the people of Israel [^Lus] ·go across [pass through] your land [Num. 20:14–17].’ But the king of Edom ·refused [^Lwould not listen]. They sent the same message to the king of Moab, but he also refused. So the Israelites stayed at Kadesh.
