Exegesis
In the apodosis, the pronoun hu {הוּא | hūʾ} ‘he’ is repeated for emphasis, followed by the adjective tahor {טָהוֹר | ṭā·hōr} ‘clean’ to denote his ritual status, and a final resumptive hu reinforces the outcome. This antithetic structure contrasts the physical condition with the resulting legal verdict.
