Many of which would be considered dated, and in some cases absurd by todays standards. The straight answer is I think there are many parts that would not be relevant or observed today. I view the Old Testament partly as a historical document and partly as instructions for the Hebrew people. A lot of the practices were rendered obsolete, done away with, or changed with the new covenant.
Matthew 5:17-18
Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
You guys always trot this one out despite the fact that it's been explained to you multiple times.
Which has more authority, the law or a pardon?
