The parallel noun phrases se’et levanah {שְׂאֵת לְבָנָה | śə-ʾêṯ lə-wā-nā(h)} ‘white swelling’ and baheret levanah adamdamet {בַהֶרֶת לְבָנָה אֲדַמְדָּמֶת | ba-hə-reṯ lə-wā-nā(h) ʾă-dam-dā-meṯ} ‘white spot with reddish tint’ employ merismatic parallelism to define two diagnostic signs.
In context — Leviticus 13:19
And it shall be, in the place of the boil , a white swelling or a white spot that is reddish ; and it must be presented to the priest.
