“And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.”
And after a while his master's wife took notice of Joseph and said: come to bed with me! The directness of the proposition — come to bed with me — is the nature of the test. Not a gradual seduction but a direct demand. The application: the covenant person's character is tested most directly not by gradual compromise but by the direct demand for the decisive wrong.
