Exegesis
A second kai {καὶ | kaí} coordinates the next verbal idea, introducing the aorist passive ekatharisthē {ἐκαθαρίσθη | ekatharís-thē} ‘he was cleansed,’ where the passive voice implies an unstated divine agent effecting the cleansing. The syntactic movement from “the leprosy departed from him” to “he was cleansed” moves from the observable disappearance of disease to the completed state of ritual and social restoration, which is reflected in the formal translation’s close adherence to the Greek sequence and the dynamic version’s emphasis on the man’s renewed condition.
