Exegesis
A coordinated alternative is introduced by o {אֽוֹ־ | ʾō-}, linking the verb rar {רָ֣ר | rā-r} ‘drips’ and the Hiphil perfect hechtim {הֶחְתִּ֤ים | hech-tîm} ‘is blocked’, each with its own prepositional phrase besaro {בְּשָׂר֞וֹ | bə-śā-rô} ‘in his flesh’ and respective discharge phrase.
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.
