Judges 11:16

EgyptKadeshRed Sea

14 Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites

15 to tell him, “This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or of the Ammonites.

But when Israel came up out of Egypt, they traveled through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.

17 Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Please let us pass through your land,’ but the king of Edom would not listen. They also sent messengers to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel stayed in Kadesh.

18 Then Israel traveled through the wilderness and bypassed the lands of Edom and Moab. They came to the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not enter the territory of Moab, since the Arnon was its border.
