"If a man carnally lie with a woman that is a bondservant and marriageable, and yet not redeemed with a price, nor made free: they both shall be scourged, and they shall not be put to death, because she was not a free woman. "
Leviticus 19;20 Douay-Rheims Bible
It's not old English. It's early modern English. You can at least somewhat understand early modern English, but old English is intelligible. For example, in old English, the word for "foot" is "fot" (pronounced like boat with an f), while the word for "feet" is "fote" (pronounced like boat with an f followed by -ay), which eventually became "fete" (pronounced like Fett followed by -ay). Don't ask for any other old English words; those are the only two I know.
" If a man has sexual relations with a woman who is a slave, designated for another man but not ransomed or given her freedom, an inquiry shall be held. They shall not be put to death, since she has not been freed"
