Exegesis
The verb pasah {פָּשָׂ֥ה | pā-śāh} ‘it has spread’ governs the predicate, with ha-nega' {הַנֶּ֖גַע | ha-nê-‘a‘} ‘the affliction’ as subject and the prepositional phrase be-kirot ha-bayit {בְּקִירֹ֥ת הַבָּֽיִת | bə-qî-rôṯ ha-bā-yîṯ} ‘on the walls of the house’ specifying location. Hebrew clause chaining with vav-consecutives creates a tight temporal and conditional structure that in English is rendered through clear temporal markers and a conditional protasis, preserving the legalistic rhythm and sequence.
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.
