'Asked' in the Bible

So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this and let the boys live?”

The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your neighbor?”

When they returned to their father Reuel he asked, “Why have you come back so quickly today?”

“So where is he?” he asked his daughters. “Why then did you leave the man behind? Invite him to eat dinner.”

But Moses asked God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

Then Moses asked God, “If I go to the Israelites and say to them: The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ what should I tell them?”

The Lord asked him, “What is that in your hand?”“A staff,” he replied.

Then the Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh’s slave drivers had set over the people, were beaten and asked, “Why haven’t you finished making your prescribed number of bricks yesterday or today, as you did before?”

So Moses went back to the Lord and asked, “Lord, why have You caused trouble for this people? And why did You ever send me?

Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long must this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, so that they may worship Yahweh their God. Don’t you realize yet that Egypt is devastated?”

He summoned Moses and Aaron during the night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites, and go, worship Yahweh as you have asked.

Take even your flocks and your herds as you asked and leave, and also bless me.”

The Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing.

When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, “What is it?” because they didn’t know what it was.Moses told them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.

So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, bowed down, and then kissed him. They asked each other how they had been and went into the tent.

When Moses’ father-in-law saw everything he was doing for them he asked, “What is this thing you’re doing for the people? Why are you alone sitting as judge, while all the people stand around you from morning until evening?”

Then Moses asked Aaron, “What did these people do to you that you have led them into such a grave sin?”

The Lord answered Moses, “I will do this very thing you have asked, for you have found favor in My sight, and I know you by name.”
