Exegesis
The prefixed infinitive construct kir’otah {כִּרְאוֹתָ֔הּ | kir-ʾô-tāh} ‘when she saw’ establishes a temporal clause, and the conjunction ki {כִּֽי־ | kî} ‘that’ introduces the content clause azav bigdo beyadah {עָזַב בִּגְד֖וֹ בְּיָדָ֑הּ | ʿā-zav big-dô bə-yā-dāh}, highlighting how Joseph’s garment came into her hand.
In context — Genesis 39:13
And it happened when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled to the outside .
