Exegesis
The final tautological affirmation tahor hu {טָהוֹר הוּא | ṭā-hôr hūʾ} ‘it is clean’ serves as legal certification. In English translation, verb–subject order is regularized to subject–verb while preserving the Hebrew “if… then…” conditional structure and the ritual pronouncement framework.
Root and etymology
ṭ-h-rtet-het-resh
“clean, pure”
In context — Leviticus 13:17
And the priest shall see him, and behold, if the sore has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce the sore clean ; it is clean.
