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.

5009. 'And fled, and went out of doors' means that this being so it did not have that truth with which to protect itself. This is clear from the meaning of 'fleeing and going out of doors' after he had left his garment behind, as a separation that had taken place, or the fact that the two no longer had anything in common. Consequently, since 'a garment' means outermost truth, the meaning is that it had no truth with which to protect itself, regarding which see what has been shown immediately above, towards the end of 5008.
