How many times does the Torah record Moshe asking Hashem for a pesaq?
I can only recall Benos Tzelfchad and Pesach Sheini. With such a small
sample set... Maybe it fits the system for Hashem to only give each
detail as it is needed, requiring multiple questions. But the other time
this came up at all, there was no later consequence forcing a second
question.
