Exegesis

The Hebrew clause sequence begins with ish {אִישׁ | ʾîš} ‘man’ modified by tsarua {צָרוּעַ | ṣārûaʿ} ‘leprous’ and the copula hu {הוּא | hūʼ} ‘he’.

The predicate tame hu {טָמֵא הוּא | ṭāmēʼ hūʼ} ‘unclean he’ affirms the condition.

In contextLeviticus 13:44

He is a leprous man , he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him unclean because the sore is on his head.
