When someone asks a question strictly to impart knowledge, as in:

Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? (‭Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬ ESV)

What is the type of question called?

This might be a poor example but I'm not looking for "rhetorical question." While yes, this may not be asked to expect a response, I'm more looking for a word with a definition of something like this:

A type of question asked to impart knowledge or grant clarity to a subject.

I think you can define it as an explanatory question:

  • Explanatory questions help us understand the reality of a situation whether its a moral, religious, social or economic reality and explain it. They focus on what is or is supposed to be real and not what should be.
