Exegesis
The Hifil imperfect vatesitehu {וַתְּסִיתֵ֙הוּ֙ | wāṯ-ṯə-sî-te-hû} ‘she urged him’ conveys intentional causation, and the infinitive lish’ol {לִשְׁאוֹל | li-šə-’ōl} ‘to ask’ expresses purpose.
In context — Joshua 15:18
And it happened that when she came, she prompted him to ask her father for a field. She dismounted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”
