OET (OET-RV) Then we went through the wilderness and turned away from the land of Edom and the land of Moab, then went the long way around the eastern border of Moab. They camped on the other side of the Arnon river, but they didn’t go within Moab’s borders, because the Arnon was the border of Moab.

• 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.

The messengers are describing the location of one place relative to another in the way that is characteristic of their culture. They mean that if one went to the land of Moab from the route that the Israelites traveled in the wilderness, one would approach Moab from the rising of the sun (from the east). The messengers do not mean that the Israelites traveled to the land of Moab from somewhere to the east of that land. Express this in the way that your culture customarily describes the location of one place relative to another. See how you translated the comparable expression in 8:11. Alternate translation: [and he traveled to the east of the land of Moab]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בְּעֵ֣בֶר אַרְנ֑וֹן
in/on/at/with,other_side ʼArnōn
The messengers are speaking from a vantage point south of the Arnon River, since the Israelites approached it from the south on their journey from Egypt. So the other side implicitly means the north side. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. See how you translated the similar expression in 10:8. Alternate translation: [on the north side of the Arnon River]
