TSK · Genesis 44:2

But you must bring your youngest brother to me. Then your words will be verified and you will not die.” They did as he said.

They set a place for him, a separate place for his brothers, and another for the Egyptians who were eating with him.(The Egyptians are not able to eat with Hebrews, for the Egyptians think it is disgusting to do so.)

Remember the whole way by which he has brought you these forty years through the wilderness so that he might, by humbling you, test you to see if you have it within you to keep his commandments or not.

You must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer, for the LORD your God will be testing you to see if you love him with all your mind and being.

I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.
