Inspector Javert shows similar beliefs to that of the scribes and Pharisees that Jesus was frequently in conflict with. The scribes’ religious identity centres mostly around the Torah, which is the first five books of the Old Testament. They believed that the laws written in the Old Testament were of utmost importance. The Pharisees were similar to the scribes in that they also believed that the law must be strictly followed to preserve order within the Jewish community. Inspector Javert demonstrates similar qualities to the scribes and Pharisees because he believed that the law must be followed at all costs.
Before his crucification and resurrection, it was the standard by which Gods people had to uphold. After that however, the law lost its purpose in that regard and is now used for different purpose. Today it is to convict people
4 They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.” (Matthew 23:2-4). The Pharisees had prayed loudly, used church money, and never followed their own rule just like a hypocrite. Jesus never was rich, he followed the poorest of the poor, and gave everything he had to the poor. “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
Since John is a good man he does know his commandments. When asked to state his commandments he said,
Threw the book major changes had happened to the seven commandments, and all of them to fit Napoleans needs. One change happend to the 4th commandments, who sates that no animal shall sleep in beds, but Napoleon change it to, “No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.”, because he started sleeping in a bed. Changes also happend to the third rule which originaly said that “No animal shall wear clothes”, but as the pigs felt they were important enough to wear clothes they all ended up disrespecting the rule .Another change affected the commandment that talked about the drinking of alcohol. At first, the 5th Commandment said that “no animal shall drink alcohol.”

Jesus is at the center of believers’ life and worship style. Believers are justified by faith, and they are not under the supervision of the law (Gal 3:24-25). However, all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16). Believers have to understand the Jewish roots of their faith. Learning about the Jewish roots of Christianity can transform believers’ understanding of Scripture.
Although, the Israelites laws were established by the Commandments. Also,
And the part that the Law misses is Jesus and salvation through him and he came to this earth to fulfill it. As it is stated in Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” He said this in my opinion to emphasize that completing the law is impossible thus salvation is a really difficult thing to achieve without Jesus as he tell us in Matthew 5:20 “For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven” (Bible Gateway NIV).
This covenant is found in Exodus 19-24 and Deuteronomy. These books are the structure for the Judicial law which the Israelites follow even to this day.

They were each responsible for the false teaching and doctrines that they were transmitting to the Jews. The Pharisees belief that the Law as open to interpretation as well as the great value they placed on the Law, especially the oral Law, saw them placing importance on their works and outward piety. Jesus saw the Pharisee's self-righteousness and pride. In Luke 11:39 He tells them, “Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.” Unlike the Pharisees, the Sadducees believed the was that the Law that was given to Moses was to be interpreted literally.
God also gave a set of rules that they have to live by, the 613 Commandments. This covenant was made to all Jews as a whole, and all through Jewish history is their attempts to make the world a good and equal society.
