Exegesis
The coordinating sequence ū-se‘ārāh hāphaḥ lāvan {וּשְׂעָרָהּ הָפַךְ לָבָן | ū-se-ʿā-rāh hā-phaḥ lā-van} “and its hair has turned white” mirrors the prior clause structure.
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.
