Now therfore restore those landes agayne wt faire meanes. ¹⁴ And Iephthah sent messegers again vnto the children of Ammon ¹⁵ and sayd vnto him: thus sayth Iepthah: Israel toke not awaye the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon. ¹⁶ But when Israel came out of Egypt, & walked thorow the wildernesse, euen vnto the redd see, they came to Cades ¹⁷ & sent messengers vnto the king of Edom, saying: let me (I praye the) go thorow thy land.
