Exegesis
The clause begins with the conditional conjunction ve-im {וְאִם | wə-ʾim} ‘and if,’ introducing a hypothetical scenario.
The infinitive construct paroach {פָּר֨וֹחַ | pā-rō-ḥaḥ} ‘spreading’ intensifies the imperfect verb tifrach {תִּפְרַ֤ח | tī-pə-raḥ} ‘breaks out,’ highlighting sudden onset.
In context — Leviticus 13:12
And if the skin disease spreads out in the skin and covers all the skin of the afflicted person from his head to his feet, as far as the appearance is seen by the eyes of the priest.
