Exegesis
The identification clause nega-ṣara‘at hī’ {נֶגַע־צָרַעַת הִוא | ne-ga-ṣā-rā-ʿat hī’} “it is a plague of leprosy” categorizes the affliction, and the locative clause baš-seḥīn pā-rā-ḥāh {בַּשְּׁחִין פָּרָחָה | baš-se-ḥīn pā-rā-ḥāh} “has broken out in the boil” specifies its origin. The chain of vav prefixes creates a cause-and-effect diagnostic procedure.
Root and etymology
ch-ychet-yod

In context — Leviticus 13:20
And the priest shall examine, and behold, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white; then the priest shall declare him unclean. It is a plague of leprosy —it has broken out in the boil.
