Obedience to authority is amoral.
You are right in speaking of the moral foundations of science, but you cannot turn round and speak of the scientific foundations of morality. Amoral is as if the Nazi’s were evil or not, or is murder really morally wrong, or why is rape morally reprehensible?

In the Old Testament, God appears harsh for three reasons. First, it was to demonstrate the exacting requirements of the Law--a perfect and demanding standard. Second, it ultimately demonstrates the need for grace that would eventually be manifested on the cross. Third, should rebellion take root the very heart of the gospel would be at risk since the prophecies of the Messiah coming to and through Israel could be undermined should rebellion become rampant and society fall apart causing the prophecies to fail. Therefore, we can conclude that this harsh requirement was a necessary legality to instill and designate the necessity of family order and respect and to ultimately provide another safeguard that would ensure the sacrifice of Christ.

So, no god directed cruelty on the new testament, is that your position? god changed his stripes?

When God says that He does not change, He is speaking about His nature and character. But this does not mean that He cannot change how He works with people throughout history.
