Exegesis
The construct nega tsaraat {נֶגַע צָרַעַת | ne-ˈgaʿ ṣā-rā-ˈʿat} ‘a spot of leprosy’ functions diagnostically, followed by hu {הוּא | hūʾ} ‘it is’.
In context — Leviticus 13:49
And if the affected spot is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any leather article, it is a spot of leprosy , and it shall be shown to the priest .
