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.
