Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

11:17 Kadesh had been Israel’s base for spying out the land (Num 32:8; Deut 1:19; 2:14). The name comes from the Hebrew root qadesh (“holy”) and presumably is named for a shrine.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
לֵאמֹ֜ר אֶעְבְּרָה־נָּ֣א בְאַרְצֶ֗ךָ
to=say pass please in/on/at/with,land_of,your
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [asking for permission to pass through his land]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְלֹ֤א שָׁמַע֙
and=not listen
The word translated as listen here is the same one that is translated as heard in [2:2](../02/02.md) and similar contexts. As the Introduction to Judges discusses, in these contexts the word has the specific sense of complying with what someone has said, by association with the way someone would need to hear what was said in order to obey it. Alternate translation: [But … did not consent]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְגַ֨ם אֶל־מֶ֧לֶךְ מוֹאָ֛ב שָׁלַ֖ח
and=also to/towards king Mōʼāⱱ Shalah
The messengers are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And the Israelites also sent messengers to the king of Moab requesting safe passage through his country]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּקָדֵֽשׁ
and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived Yisrael in/on/at/with,Kadesh
The messengers are leaving some information implicit that they assume the Ammonite king will understand. This information supports Jephthah’s claim that the Israelites did not take any territory from the Ammonites or their allies the Moabites. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [In response, the Israelites did not try to force their way through Edom or Moab. Instead, they waited in Kadesh and considered what they should do next]
