On Biblehub there is parallel of each translation dozens on top of one another.
Verse 28 on several translations literally uses the word rape.
Verse 29 basically every translation other than KJV uses the word “violated her”.
Say translations on Verse 28 saying rape are wrong. But on verse 29 all the other translations say violated.
Violated sounds like assault.
In the KJV how do you “humble” a girl by having sex with her as if humbling a girl with sex is ok? When or how is a virgin girl who is “seized” (most translations use “seized”) and then “humbled” can mean to be something other than violated against a girls will?
The girl is "cheapened"/degraded, or humbled, by sleeping outside of marriage. You can see that the word "humbled" is also used in the context of adultery, so the word doesn't have to mean rape. Violated means he took her virginity. It is interesting that verse 28 also says "they" be found, kind of implying both are guilty. I do think the girl, being a naive virgin especially for those times, was seduced, in that sense she was violated or even tricked. However, I don't think verse 28 describes the traditional definition of rape.
22
mIf a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then
they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman (this is adultery):
lso shalt thou put away evil from Israel. 23 If a damsel that is a virgin be
nbetrothed unto an husband, and a man
find her in the city, and lie with her; 24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath
ohumbled his neighbour’s wife
(this is adultery):
pso thou shalt put away evil from among you. 25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man
||force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die
(this is rape): 26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: 27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 28
qIf a man
find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and
they be found (this is seduction/fornication); 29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath
rhumbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
