Exegesis
The noun phrase baheret {בַּהֶרֶת | baḥeret} ‘shiny spot’ is qualified by levanah {לְבָנָה | lə-vā-nāh} ‘white’.
In context — Leviticus 13:4
But if the shiny spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest must isolate the affliction for seven days.
