Exegesis
The Hebrew clause begins with the conditional veim {וְאִם | wəʾ-îm} “and if,” introducing a protasis.
The infinitive absolute paso {פָּשֹׂה | pa-śō} plus imperfect tipseh {תִפְשֶׂה | tip-śēh} intensifies the description of the rash.
Root and etymology
“to spread, extend”
In context — Leviticus 13:7
But if the rash spreads in the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, then he must appear again to the priest.
