5021. Verses 16-18 And she kept his garment with her until his lord came to his house. And she spoke to him ina these words, saying, The Hebrew slave whom you have brought to us came to me, to make sport of me. And it happened as I lifted up my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled out of doors.
And she kept his garment with her' means that it retained outermost truth. 'Until his lord came to his house' means so that it might communicate with natural good. 'And she spoke to him in these words' means speaking falsely. 'Saying, The Hebrew slave whom you have brought to us came to me' means that servile thing. 'To make sport of me' means that it rose up. 'And it happened as I lifted up my voice and cried out' means when it discerned the great aversion. 'That he left his garment with me' means proof. 'And fled out of doors' means that at that point it separated itself.
