Judges 11:15-17

Living Bible

^14-15 Jephthah replied, “Israel did not steal the land. ¹⁶ What happened was this: When the people of Israel arrived at Kadesh, on their journey from Egypt after crossing the Red Sea, ¹⁷ they sent a message to the king of Edom asking permission to pass through his land. But their petition was denied. Then they asked the king of Moab for similar permission. It was the same story there, so the people of Israel stayed in Kadesh.
