Exegesis
The vav consecutive Nifal imperfect ve-nehpakh {וְנֶהְפַּ֣ךְ | wə-nəḥ-pákh} ‘and is turned/becomes’ signals passive transformation, with the prepositional phrase le-lavan {לְלָבָ֑ן | lə-lā-vān} ‘to white’ denoting the diagnostic color shift.
In context — Leviticus 13:16
Or if the living flesh turns back and becomes white, then he shall come to the priest .
