Exegesis
The clause opens with the conditional ve’im {וְאִם | wə-ʾim} ‘and if’, marking a diagnostic scenario.
The noun phrase be’einav {בְּעֵינָיו | bə-ʿê-nāw} ‘in his eyes’ establishes the priest’s visual assessment.
In context — Leviticus 13:37
But if, in his sight, the infection remains and black hair has grown in it, then the affliction has been healed; it is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
