Exegesis

The phrase netek hu {נֶתֶק ה֔וּא | ne-teq hû(h)} “it is a patch” and the specification of tsara-at on ha-rosh o ha-zakan {צָרַעַת הָרֹאשׁ אוֹ הַזָּקָן | ṣā-ra-‘āṯ hā-rō-’ēš ’ō hā-zā-qān} “leprosy on the head or beard” completes the ritual judgment. The Hebrew structure underscores priestly authority and the precise criteria for impurity.

In contextLeviticus 13:30

And the priest will look at the sore, and behold, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and in it is thin yellow hair. The priest will pronounce the person unclean; it is a patch ; it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
