TSK · Judges 2:22

It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your God proves you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

They were [left], to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Yahweh, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth like gold.

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests the hearts.
