Exegesis
The noun beharot {בֶּהָרֹ֑ת | bə-hā-rōṯ} ‘bright spots’ is repeated for rhetorical emphasis, followed by the adjective levanot {לְבָנֹֽת׃ | lə-van-ōṯ} ‘white.’ English employs em dashes to reflect the emphatic repetition and renders the construct chain as “on the skin of their flesh” for precision.
