"Is" was frequently used in Old English. Have a look at this entry of the verb ''wesan'' for examples of ''is'' in usage: [http://web.ff.cuni.cz/cgi-bin/uaa_slovnik/gmc_search_v3?cmd=formquery2&query=wesan&startrow=1]. ''Biþ'' was also used, but apparently often with a slightly different meaning (future time, or habitual action).

::'''Hē is ceald''' = ''He is cold (to the touch)'', while '''he biþ ceald''' = ''he is cold (hearted)''. I think that's the simplest way to explain the differences. The '''bēon''' form somewhat survives in AAVE.
