Exegesis
The subject ha-kohen {הַכֹּהֵ֖ן | hā-kō-ḥên} ‘the priest’ identifies the officiant, while the temporal clause ba-yom ha-shvi'i {בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֑י | ba-yôm haš-šə-ḇî-‘î} ‘on the seventh day’ establishes the inspection interval in Levitical regulation.
In context — Leviticus 14:39
And the priest will return on the seventh day, and he will see; behold, the affliction has spread on the walls of the house.
