Just one example of laws reflecting socially determined practice which selects out for itself ethical or immoral standard relative to their time. What you may consider divine inspired is just a natural desire to differentiate from former enemy's practices, the pagan Romans & Greeks. Yet in the Christian practice we find them emulating the Egyptian exactly and that god of judgement you say is inescapable is also originates clearly in those Egyptian & Persian ideas, not of Biblical origin.

That goes for the idea of the resurrection as well, sourced purely from Egyptian & Persian that these confused & fumbling primitive Hebrews, trying to uplift themselves, incorporating from these earlier dominating and more sophisticated, established beliefs, when finally cobbling their own scripturual beliefs together around 500-300bc.
