Judges 11:15-17

The Voice

Jephthah’s Message: ¹⁵ Here is my response to your claim: Israel did not take away the land of the Ammonites or the Moabites. 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.
