Exegesis
Vehinneh {וְהִנֵּ֛ה | wə-ḥin-nēh} ‘and behold’ functions as an interjection of attention, introducing pasah {פָּשָׂ֥ה | pā-śāh} ‘it has spread’, the crucial diagnostic indicator.
In context — Leviticus 14:44
And the priest shall come and examine it, and behold, if the affliction has spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
