Exegesis
The verse opens with the conditional protasis marker ve-im {וְאִם־ | wə-ʾim} ‘and if’, introducing a hypothetical recurrence.
The imperfect yashuv {יָשׁוּב | yā-šûv} ‘returns’ frames potential action, followed by the perfect u-farach {וּפָרַח | û-pā-raḥ} ‘spreads’, establishing its expansion in the ba-bayit {בַּבַּיִת | bayyît} ‘house’.
In context — Leviticus 14:43
And if the affliction returns and spreads in the house after he has torn out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after he has plastered it.
