Exegesis
The pronoun hi {הִוא | hîʾ} ‘it’ then identifies the condition, completed by two final locative phrases—beqarachto {בְּקָרַחְתּוֹ | bəqārāḥṯō} ‘in his baldness’ and begabbachto {בְגַבַּחְתּֽוֹ | bəgabbḥṯō} ‘in his frontal baldness’—thus framing the legal determination. In English, the adjective-noun order is reversed and a copula is supplied to meet syntactic requirements, while the conditional and locative structure is retained.
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.
