Exegesis
The noun shekhin {שְׁחִין | šĕ-ḥîn} ‘boil’ is then the subject of the following niphal perfect venirpa {וְנִרְפָּא | wə-nir-pāʼ} ‘is healed’, indicating completed recovery. The paired vav clauses form a protasis-apodosis structure characteristic of Hebrew conditional syntax, and the word order reflects cause and result in the law of purification.
In context — Leviticus 13:18
And when a person’s flesh has a boil on his skin and it is healed.
