Exegesis
The subsequent directive wə·kî·bes bə·gā·ḏāyw {וְכִבֶּ֥ס בְּגָדָ֖יו | wə·kî·bes bə·gā·ḏāyw} ‘and he shall wash his clothes’ and the final Qal perfect wə·ṭā·hēr {וְטָהֵֽר | wə·ṭā·hēr} ‘and he will be clean’ complete the cleansing sequence.
In context — Leviticus 13:6
And the priest shall examine him again on the seventh day, and behold, if the infection has faded and has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. He shall wash his clothes, and he will be clean.
