The old testament reads like a conquering king would have written it. If you obey only 9 out of every 10 commands, your village is still wiped out to the last goat.
The god of the old testament, Yahweh, is the War God, I believe, of the Israelites. Then the Cult of Yahweh converted everyone to believe that there is only one god, Yahweh, and that was how Judaism was born. And that's why the Old Testament god is so violent and cruel.
This series of video, a summary of the book "A History of God" by Karen Armstrong, a former nun, I believe, explains the history of the Christian and Jewish God very well. I highly recommend it.
