  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mosaic Legislation
Law alone, or again, to the ceremonial part of it, whether in theory or practice; in short, to any direction written or oral, given in Yahweh's name by one enjoying an official capacity.
It was the primitive condition of Hebrew society that dictated Israel's first laws by leading to the establishment of family and tribal customs.
Common Law, as it were, grew and developed, but the statutory enactments remained inviolable.

 Jesus Christ and the Law of Moses, abrogation and replacement of law of moses in Pentateuch, Leviticus, spiritualist, ...
Mosaic Law was there for those not yet in a position to follow the Christ Way - the Way laid down by Christ, the way of the Spirit.
The fact that it was Moses (law-maker) and Elias (prophet) with whom Jesus communicated (communed) is significant because it symbolises the fulfilling of the old Mosaic Law and Biblical prophecies with the new Law of the Spirit (Christian Spiritual Law) which was to be accomplished with the Crucifixion and Resurrection.
Thus, the Law of Moses was in force for the descendants of the first Israelites until the prophecies were fulfilled by the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ.

We are the heirs of the Ten Commandments and the Mosaic law: a moral code for a free people who, having been liberated from cruel bondage, saw in law a means to avoid falling back into the habits of slaves.
We are the heirs of a long tradition of parliamentary development, in which the rule of law gradually came to replace the royal prerogative as the means for governing a society of free men and women.
The rule of law is like a three-legged stool: one leg is an honest judge, the second leg is an ethical bar, and the third is an enforceable oath.

 Quodlibet Online Journal: On the Discontinuity Between Law and Grace   (Site not responding. Last check: )
And yet, temporal though it was, the mosaic law was a priceless gift of God to Israel as a sign of her covenantal relation and beloved position of favor in the eyes of God.
In summary, then, we may say that within the old covenant, the mosaic law was not intended by God to serve a soteriological function, but rather was a sanctifying element of the covenant relationship already granted Israel through the grace of God, in accordance with His grace promised to their father Abraham.
Paul refers to both of these functions of the law in his epistles, allowing him to recognize the holiness of the law, while at the same time teaching that believers who are cleansed by the sacrifice of Christ are set free from the condemning nature of the law.

  Compare the content of Hammurabi's Code, Mosaic Law, and Justinian Law.
Mosaic Law allowed the Israelites to own slaves provided that these slaves were taken from the surrounding countries and were not fellow Hebrews.
Similarly, Mosaic Law stated that if an Israelite worked as a servant to pay off a debt, he would serve six years and in the seventh year be released.
Justinian indicated in his books of laws that although the penalty for physical injuries used to be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, that practice was no longer used.

 bible.org: The Mosaic Law: Its Function and Purpose in the New Testament
It should be stressed that the moral principles embodied in the Mosaic Law given at Sinai were merely the codified expression of the eternal moral law of God as it was given to Israel to govern her life as a nation in order to experience God’s blessing under the Abrahamic covenant.
The moral principles embodied in the law of Moses Paul calls “the righteousness of the law” (Rom 8:4), and shows that such principles are the goal of the Spirit-directed life in the same context in which he teaches the believer is not under the Mosaic law (Rom 6–8).
For this the Mosaic Law was instituted to direct Israel as a nation in all spheres of her life—morally, socially, politically, economically and religiously.

 Jews for Judaism FAQ
According to the New Testament, the Mosaic Law was in effect until Jesus fulfilled all, in all its exactness.
If the Mosaic Law was in effect until the exact moment of Jesus' death, or for any length of time afterwards, that act cannot be considered as an atoning blood sacrifice bringing remission of sin.
According to the New Testament: (1) Jesus supposed atoning death for sin was the culmination of his fulfillment of the Law (Colossians 2:14-17), (2) Jesus' death was the final atoning sacrifice under the Mosaic Law (Hebrews 7:27; 10:10, 12).

 What is the Mosaic Covenant?
The Mosaic Covenant is a significant covenant in both God’s redemptive history and in the history of the nation of Israel through whom God would sovereignly chose to bless the world with both His Written Word and the Living Word, Jesus Christ.
In understanding the different covenants in the Bible and their relationship with one another it is important to understand that the Mosaic Covenant differs significantly from the Abrahamic Covenant and later biblical covenants because it is conditional in that the blessings that God promises are directly related to Israel’s obedience to the Mosaic Law.
The Mosaic Covenant is also referred to as the Old Covenant (2 Corinthians 3:14; Hebrews 8:6, 13) and was replaced by the New Covenant in Christ (Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Hebrews 8:8; 8:13; 9:15; 12:24).

 The Christian's Relationship To The Mosaic Law
The contrast between the curse of the Law, pronounced upon those who were under the Law, and the blessing of Abraham coming to the Gentile believers in Christ, is very instructive.
That Law was by no means a complete statement of God's requirements, though it was quite sufficient for the purpose of revealing the presence of sin in the flesh, for demonstrating the utter corruption of human nature, and for making manifest the exceeding sinfulness of sin.

 New Covenant Theology and the Mosaic Law
The older Dispensational interpreters viewed the Sermon on the Mount as purely Mosaic law to be reinstituted during the millennium.
Further, "law" inverses 17-18 (even in Bank's view) refers to the law of Moses; it would be a surprising shift indeed for "the least of these commandments," stated in the very same breath, to be something different.

 18. The Mosaic Law and the Law of Christ
As previously mentioned, churches that preach tithing based on texts from the Mosaic Law have missed the differences between law and grace, the old and new covenants, and Israel and the church.
This is a reference to the law of Moses which revealed the awfulness of sin, made sin a transgression and pronounced death as the penalty for sin."...
The tithing law changed early: the shift from a theocracy to a monarchy changed the tithing laws when it moved the first tithe from the Levites and priests to the king (and re-assigned to them the next tithe) (1 Sam.

Added to this basic problem of polluting the Temple by laxity in keeping the Mosaic Law was the fact that king Agrippa had built a dining room on his palace overlooking the Temple thus allowing him and his guests to eat (unclean people and forbidden foods) and watch the sacrifices.
From records of Josephus and the early church fathers, the author claims that James death was the beginnings of the internal fighting that eventuated in the revolt and the Romans laying siege to the Temple and its eventual destruction.
By inference, this strict adherence to the Mosaic law reflects the beliefs and teachings of James’ brother, Jesus.

 Comments concerning the Noachide Law, the Mosaic Law, Judaism and Christianity
They also acknowledged that the Seven Laws of Noah are the foundation upon which civilization stands and that recent weakening of these principles threaten the fabric of civilized society, and that justified preoccupation in educating the Citizens of the United States of America and future generations is needed.
Though the number of laws was later increased to 30 with the addition of prohibitions against castration, sorcery, and other practices, the "seven laws," with minor variations, retained their original status as authoritative commandments and as the source of other laws.
The Noachide Law is part of the Mosaic Law, though it was, of course, given to all men earlier, while the Mosaic Law as a whole has as a primary object the preservation and propagation of Noachism among the Gentiles.

 Blood and the Mosaic Law
Consequently, the texts from the law of Moses do not in and of themselves have any bearing on whether or not it would be appropriate for a Christian to use blood.
Despite the fact that the mosaic law called for the death of someone who deliberately ate blood, the consequences of their gross sin was a verbal reprimand.
Blood was at the very heart of the Mosaic law with it's system of animal sacrifices and had great significance in the life of an Israelite since the pouring out of it in sacrifice could temporarily atone for sin.
