Exegesis
The particle ve-hinneh {وְהִנֵּה | wə-hin-nē(h)} signals scrutiny, and mar-ehu {מַרְאֵהוּ | mar-’ê-hû} “its appearance” is qualified by the comparative amok min-ha-or {עָמֹק מִן־הָעוֹר | ’ā-mōq min-hā-’ōr} “deeper than the skin.”
Root and etymology

In context — Leviticus 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.
