The Bible is older than both conservative and liberal constructs. And... if one is honest... the Bible takes a hard right on many issues... only to abruptly take a hard left. It is almost as if God's Law cannot be coopted by either side in it's entirety. It is a comprehensive Law in and of itself.

yes, it takes the land into consideration with a Sabbath rest, it takes care for the poor and the animals, it give a chance for restitution, cities of refuge for manslaughter, makes negligence a crime, sets the death penalty for the most grievous of sins. God's law are just.
Even the tithes were awesome because the people came together to eat them in a festival/celebration. and the animal sacrifices covered sins, and also were eaten by the community.
