5001. 'That he did not listen to her, to lie with her' means that it was filled with aversion to such a joining together. This is clear from the meaning of 'not listening to' as not hearkening to or not obeying, dealt with in 2542, 3869, in this case as being filled with aversion since he refused to hearken to her, so much so that he left his garment in her hand and fled; and from the meaning of 'lying with her' as being unlawfully joined together, dealt with in 4989.
