Exegesis
The particle wehinneh {וְהִנֵּה | wə-hin-nēh} ‘and behold’ functions as an evidential marker introducing the conditional clause nehpakh {נֶהְפַּךְ | ne-hpākh} ‘has turned’, describing a state change of hanega {הַנֶּגַע | han-nə-ʾāʿ} ‘the affliction’.
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.
