Exegesis
The pronoun hi {הִוא | hî} ‘it is’ functions as a resumptive identifier.
The causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ introduces the rationale with tame {טָמֵא | tā-mê} ‘unclean’ and hu {הוּא | hû’} ‘he is’: isolation is redundant for the already unclean.
In context — Leviticus 13:11
It is a chronic skin disease in the skin of his flesh, so the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He must not isolate him, because he is unclean.
