5010. 'And it happened as she saw means a perception regarding this matter. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as perception, dealt with in 2150, 3764, 4567, 4723. The matter that was perceived is the separation which came about through the non-acknowledgement of outermost truth any longer, meant by 'he left his garment in her hand and fled out of doors', as is evident from what has been stated above in 5008, 5009.

2150. 'And he saw' means when He recognized this. This is clear from the meaning in the internal sense of 'seeing' as understanding and recognizing, and also of becoming enlightened, dealt with in 1584. Nothing is more common in the Word than for 'seeing' to have such meanings Here the meaning is that He recognized the presence of perception from the Divine, as just stated.
