Exegesis
A second vav-consecutive Piel, vekhilletsu {וְחִלְּצוּ֙ | wə-ḥilləṣû} ‘and they shall tear out’, intensifies the action on et-haavanim {אֶת־הָ֣אֲבָנִ֔ים | ʾet-hā-ʾăvānîm} ‘the stones’, which are specified by the relative clause asher bahem hanagga {אֲשֶׁר בָּהֵ֖ן הַנָּ֑גַע | ʾăšer bāhên han-nāggaʿ} ‘which have the infection’.
In context — Leviticus 14:40
And the priest shall command, and they shall tear out the stones which have the infection , and they shall cast them outside the city to an unclean place.
