However it is written in a way to get the idea across to people that "clearly" would not understand that advanced person's ideas. At least in terms of why and how...so it becomes "You shall do this" orders...sometimes without reason...."or else" is added sometimes as well to be sure they do it.
But it makes you wonder. But then I read or watch too much Sci-fi and history.

You have no idea.
Try studying Kabbalah, gotta say it's certainly is interesting.
However, with regard to the laws of the Hebrews.
Many of the old Hebrew laws are believed to have been passed down from the
Code of Hammurabi.
Hammurabi's code came from the law of
Ur-Nammu, and that law is believed to have come from Shem (the so called
7 Noahide Laws).
Please note, I said these laws are
believed to come from one another, there is no definitive proof that they do.
