“And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.”
But bring your youngest brother to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the land. The conditional promise — bring Benjamin, get Simeon back, trade freely — is the full offer as Joseph stated it. The application: the full terms of the test — including both the requirement and the promised outcome — must be communicated accurately to those who will decide whether to comply.
