Exegesis
The construct chain negaʻ {נֶגַע | negaʻ} ‘affliction’ + ṣārāʻat {צָרַעַת | ṣārāʻat} ‘leprosy’ forms a genitive, localized by the locative phrase bə-ḇêyt {בְּבֵית | bə-ḇêyt} ‘in a house’ + ʼereṣ {אֶרֶץ | ʼereṣ} ‘of the land’ + ʼăḥûzatkem {אֲחֻזַּתְכֶם | ʼăḥûzatkem} ‘of your possession’. English maintains the protasis–result structure and renders the vav-consecutive with explicit conjunctions to reflect sequential divine initiative.
In context — Leviticus 14:34
