Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bə-ṭahō-rā-ṯô {בְּטָהֳרָתֽוֹ | bə-ṭahō-rā-ṯô} ‘in his cleansing’ specifies the ritual purification context. Hebrew’s compact syntax of relative clauses and construct chains requires expansion in English to render clause relationships and idiomatic expressions clearly.
Root and etymology
ṭ-h-r
“to be clean, pure”
In context — Leviticus 14:32
This is the law for the one in whom there is a leprous affliction of leprosy who cannot obtain his cleansing.
