Exegesis
The noun ha-zav {הַזָּב | haz-zāv} ‘the man with a discharge’ specifies the category, while the relative clause introduced by va-asher {וַאֲשֶׁר | va-ʾăšer} ‘and who’ combines with the Qal imperfect tetse {תֵּצֵא | tēṣēʾ} ‘goes out’ and the prepositional phrase mimennu {מִמֶּנּוּ | mimmennū} ‘from him’ to define the condition.
Root and etymology
z-w-bzayin–vav–bet

In context — Leviticus 15:32
