Exegesis
The sequence ve-ra'ah {וְרָאָ֕ה | wə-rā-’âh} ‘and he saw’ sets up the evaluative observation, immediately reinforced by ve-hinnei {וְהִנֵּ֛ה | wə-hinnēh} ‘and behold’, introducing a conditional result.
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.
