Exegesis
The vav-consecutive Nifal perfect venirah {וְנִרְאָה | wə-nir-ʾâh} “and he shall appear” requires a repeated action, further specified by the adverb shenit {שֵׁנִ֖ית | šē-nîṯ} “a second time,” and concluded by el hakohen {אֶל־הַכֹּהֵֽן | ʾel ha-kō-hên} “to the priest.” Rendering this in English preserves the intensifying nuance of the infinitive absolute and the purposive temporality of the Hifil infinitive in the formal reconstruction, while the dynamic version clarifies sequence and maintains both medical and ritual precision.
