Exegesis
The final tum’ato hi {טֻמְאָת֖וֹ הִֽוא׃ | ṯum-ʾā-tô hîʾ} ‘his impurity it is’ serves as an emphatic copula, underscoring that any discharge, whether flowing or stopped, renders the person impure. The translation preserves the Hebrew parallelism (“whether… or…”) and the emphatic conclusion.
In context — Leviticus 15:3
Now this will be his impurity in his discharge: whether his discharge flows from his flesh or is blocked in his flesh, it will be an impurity.
