Question

What test does Eliezer not pass?

Answer 1

Elie says this because he has lost the desire to fully protect and support his father. Like Rabbi Eliahu’s son, who also “had not passed the test”, Elie feels he is not taking care of his father. Elie had left his father alone in the freezing cold in order to sleep.
