That kind of stuff in the Old Testament doesn't apply to us. As I wrote before, most of the rules in the Old Testament were only given to the Israelites, not to the rest of the nations. The rest of the world had a simple set of rules dating from Noah's time. Until Christian missionaries visit a place, that's the rules they should have been following, as they should have been taught those by their elders.
Yes, the KJV is at modern 5th grade reading level. Of course you have to learn a few new vocabulary words, such as "begat." But it's not hard at all. If you can't read and understand it, you might not be smarter than a fifth grader.
BTW, "ye olde" is incorrect. In old books, the printers used a character that resembled a "y" to replace "th" in some words to save space and ink. So it's really "the olde." It was also replaced in other words. I think you might see that in the Gutenberg printing of the Bible. There are images online.
No. "Ye olde" did not appear in "archaic texts." It appears on pseudo old tavern signs, etc. The "Y" looking character in old printed books is not a "Y." It just resembles one. It is an entirely different piece of type. So I'm right. I wouldn't have said anything otherwise.
