Shalom Rabbi, I am hoping you can help me understand the Jewish perspective on the Levictus and Deuteronomy laws (Mosianic Law) that prescribe the death penalty for various offenses (and also in some cases when disrespecting parents, when mocking bald priest, when wearing clothing of 2 different materials or sometimes even lacks of killings like when it is described that you will be fine if you beat slave near death but not to death). While I am aware that the rabbinic tradition teaches these laws were tempory only, their presence in the Torah is still difficult to reconcile. How are these passages traditionally understood? Are they meant to be taken as literal legal statutes, or do they serve a more symbolic purpose, such as emphasizing the gravity of maintaining a holy community? Please explain because I still didnt manage to find any answer yet to be understandable at all or accepting. PS: I dont mean to disrespect Judaism by that question but im only asking this question to found answer to strengthen my faith Thank you for Your guidance.

Shalom You refer to passages but you do not quote them. No offense taken for disrespect to Judaism, but simply the things you mentioned are inaccurate. There is no death penalty in the Bible for being disrespectful to parents. However, there is if one strikes a parent . I don't know what you are referring to when you speak of mocking a bald priest. Neither is there a death penalty for wearing a garment made of wool and linen although this prohibition is considered one which has no clear logical reasoning. Therefore, I don't know why you have difficulty in reconciling things which have NO death penalty. All the best
