Exegesis
The nominal clause nega hi {נֶגַע הִֽוא | ne-ğaʿ hīʾ} functions appositively to identify the condition. The fronting of the infinitive construct pasoh at the beginning of the clause underscores the persistence of the skin condition, mirrored in the English by “keeps spreading” and the retention of the conditional framework.
Root and etymology
“to touch, strike, afflict”
In context — Leviticus 13:22
And if it spreads in the skin, the priest shall declare him unclean; it is a plague .
