where was the law written in the old testament
Old Testament The Old Testament stresses the special relationship between God and his chosen people, Israel, but includes instructions for proselytes as well.

One stands with awe and reverence before these tremendous remnants of what man once was... The taste for the Old Testament is a touchstone of "greatness" and "smallness". To have glued this New Testament, a kind of rococo of taste in every respect, to the Old Testament to form one book... that is perhaps the greatest audacity and sin against the spirit that Europe has on its conscience."[41]
