Verse 5 is found in chapter 18 of Judges. The tribe of Dan seeks territory because it has not yet secured its inheritance. Five spies arrive at Micah’s house and recognize the Levite’s voice. They ask whether their journey will prosper and receive a favorable answer. The religious consultation is completely instrumentalized: the priest is treated as a means of obtaining security for a territorial enterprise.

Sie sprachen zu ihm: Frage doch Gott, daß wir erfahren, ob unser Weg, den wir wandeln, auch wohl geraten werde.
Y ellos le dijeron: Pregunta pues ahora a Dios, para que sepamos si ha de prosperar nuestro viaje que hacemos.
Ellos le dijeron: «Consulta, por favor, a Dios para que sepamos si tendrá éxito el viaje que estamos haciendo».
Ils lui dirent: Consulte Dieu, afin que nous sachions si notre voyage aura du succès.
Ed essi gli dissero: Deh! domanda Iddio, acciocchè sappiamo se il viaggio che facciamo sarà prospero.
Então lhe disseram: Consulta a Deus, para que possamos saber se prosperará o caminho que seguimos.
