Exegesis

Conditional stipulations are sequenced: lo-pashah ha-neteq {לֹא־פָשָׂ֣ה הַנֶּ֔תֶק | lō-pā-śāh han-nĕ-teq} ‘has not spread’; ve-lo-hayah bo se-ar tsa-hov {וְלֹא־הָ֥יָה ב֖וֹ שֵׂעָר צָהֹב | wə-lō-hā-yāh bô sē-ʿār ṣā-hō-ḇ} ‘and has not been in it yellow hair’; and u-mar-e ha-neteq ein a-mok min-ha-or {וּמַרְאֵ֣ה הַנֶּ֔תֶק אֵ֥ין עָמֹ֖ק מִן־הָעֽוֹר | ū-mar-ʾê han-nĕ-teq ʾên ʿā-môq min-hā-ʿôr} ‘and the appearance of the infection is not deeper than the skin’. English structure preserves conditional layering, rendering each Hebrew clause in parallel while clarifying sequence and diagnostic scope.

In context — Leviticus 13:32

And the priest shall examine the sore on the seventh day, and behold, if the infection has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the infection is not deeper than the skin,
