Exegesis
The vav consecutive Qal perfect u-va {וּבָ֖א | wū-bāʾ} ‘and comes’ introduces the apodosis conveying required action, with el-ha-kohen {אֶל־הַכֹּהֵֽן | ʾel-há-ḵō-hēn} ‘to the priest’ designating the official examiner. This protasis–apodosis structure exemplifies the legal formulation in Leviticus, linking a physical sign to ritual compliance.
In context — Leviticus 13:16
Or if the living flesh turns back and becomes white, then he shall come to the priest .
