If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “and Israel asked him for permission to pass through his land to its place”

Jephthah’s messengers are speaking of Israel as if it were an individual person who could speak to Sihon. They mean that the messengers whom the Israelites send to him spoke this message. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the messengers said to him, ‘Please, may we Israelites pass through your land unto our place’”

The Israelite messengers used both plural (we) and singular (my) pronouns to refer to themselves, as a group of people and as a nation. It may be more natural in your language to use either plural or singular pronouns consistently. Alternate translation: “may we pass through your land unto our place” or “may I pass through your land unto my place”
11:12-28 Jephthah initially tried to solve the problem by diplomatic rather than military means (cp. Deut 20:10-11).
• Unlike the nomadic, marauding Midianites of Gideon’s day, the Ammonites were a settled tribe whose territory lay to the east of Israel’s holdings in Transjordan (east of the Jordan); Rabbah was the Ammonite capital. The Ammonites, like the Moabites (both descendants of Lot) and the Edomites (Esau’s descendants), were to be left alone, as their territories were assigned to them by the Lord (Deut 2:16-23).
• Contrary to the Ammonite king’s contention, the Amorites, not Ammon or Moab, lived between the Arnon and Jabbok rivers at the time of the conquest. In response to Sihon’s refusal to let Israel pass, the Lord had given the land of the Amorite kings Sihon and Og to Israel. The Ammonite king had no legitimate quarrel with Israel.
