Exegesis
The locative bo {ב֖וֹ | bō} “in him or her” governs nega {נָ֑גַע | nā-gāʿ}, which is then specified by the parallel prepositional phrases berosh {בְּרֹ֖אשׁ | bə-rṓ-š} and bezakan {בְזָקָֽן | bə-zā-qān} linked by the disjunction ʾō {א֥וֹ | ʾō}. The Hebrew imperfect here allows both a stative condition (formal “has”) and the onset of a condition (dynamic “develops”), aligning with the law’s precision in location.
