I've never really done any sort of biblical study, but it seems to me like the sort of thing that is constantly going to be interpreted in any number of ways, given the poetic and cryptic nature of its numerous fables. My understanding of it is that the majority of its stories are, in fact, ancient fables based on the moral beliefs of its authors and their views of how society should behave. In this respect, given these views, I believe that law, including what we are presented with as "God's law", is man-made.
This is not to say that there is no God, or gods, or deities. It is only to state that I am largely agnostic due to the majority of organized religion being highly disorganized due to the constant varying (though artistic) interpretations of various biblical works.
