'Ask' in the Bible

When she came to Othniel, she persuaded him to [allow her to] ask her father [Caleb] for a field. Then she [rode up to Caleb and] dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”

Then the woman went and told her husband, saying, “A Man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the Angel of God, very awesome. I did not ask Him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.

But the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful (miraculous)?”

And they said to him, “Please ask of God, so that we may know whether our journey on which we are going will be successful.”
