Exegesis
Predication is completed by the nominal predicate ba-he-ret le-vā-nā(h) {בַּהֶ֛רֶת לְבָנָ֥ה | ba-he-ret le-vā-nā(h)} ‘white spot’, modified by ’a-dam-de-met {אֲדַמְדֶּ֖מֶת | ’a-dam-de-met} ‘reddish’ or le-vā-nā(h) {לְבָנָֽה | le-vā-nā(h)} ‘white’, joined by the disjunction ’ō {א֥וֹ | ’ō} ‘or’. The syntax foregrounds the conditional frame and then enumerates diagnostic color outcomes, which the English preserves by maintaining the condition–result sequence and coordinating the descriptors.
In context — Leviticus 13:24
Or if the flesh on his skin has a burn , and the living flesh of the burn becomes a white spot that is reddish or white.
