'Question' in the Bible

Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:

If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?

But put now a question to the beasts, and get teaching from them; or to the birds of the heaven, and they will make it clear to you;

Have you not put the question to the travellers, and do you not take note of their experience?
