Exegesis

The nominal clause tsara'at hi {צָרַעַת הִ֔וא | ṣā-rā‘-ṯ hī} ‘it is leprosy’ renders the diagnosis, while bammikweh {בַּמִּכְוָ֖ה | ba-mik-kwāh} ‘in the burn’ and parachah {פָּרָ֑חָה | pā-rā-ḥāh} ‘it has broken out’ specify context.

In contextLeviticus 13:25

The priest shall examine it; if he sees that the hair in the bright spot has turned white and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy that has broken out in the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean.
