Exegesis
The verse begins with the conditional conjunction vekhi {וְכִי | wə·ḵî} ‘and if/when’, introducing a protasis that outlines a potential medical condition.
The imperfect yihyeh {יִהְיֶה | yi·ḥyêh} ‘it will be’ conveys potential occurrence.
In context — Leviticus 13:42
And if there is on the bald head or on the bald forehead a sore that is white and reddish, it is a leprosy breaking out in his baldness or in his frontal baldness.
