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 context — Leviticus 13:44
He is a leprous man , he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him unclean because the sore is on his head.
