You need to define what you mean by “law”

First, the word for “law” in Hebrew usually means “teaching”, and does mean that when referring to Torah (more appropriately “map pointing the way”)

Second, there is casuistic and apodictic law in the Hebrew Bible (just like the modern law system). The latter is not all necessarily the same either. There were cleanliness laws, societal laws, etc.

Which ones are you talking about? Because you’re conflating all of them.

Cleanliness laws and orderliness laws are both laws. The penalties may differ, but they’re both laws meant to govern a just, orderly, reverent, and healthy society.

The dietary laws of the Jewish people are great advice for avoiding food poisoning and contamination. Those laws were never arbitrary and always meant to be followed. I don’t follow them because I don’t claim to have anything but a personal morality which I do not enforce upon others. I gladly pick and choose, if it sends me to hell, then so be if. I don’t claim to be anything I’m not.
