Reina-Valera 1909
Empero si la mancha se estuviere en su lugar, y no se hubiere extendido en la piel, sino que está oscura, hinchazón es de la quemadura: darálo el sacerdote por limpio; que señal de la quemadura es.

Mais si la tache est demeurée à sa place au même état, et ne s’est pas étendue dans la peau, et qu’elle s’efface, c’est une tumeur de la brûlure, et le sacrificateur le déclarera pur; car c’est la cicatrice de la brûlure.
