Divine law has not changed. Orthodox Judaism is all about following G-d's laws.
The Bible was borrowed by Christians, but it does not pertain to them at all.

If you are talking about the New test and the law being "done away with" that I can answer.
The bible says that Jesus was a fulfillment of the law. It was God's authority.
Math 16: 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. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." and it was, on the cross...†

Who changed it?
Jesus came to explain it better (and show us how to live it better) and to fulfill the promises that God told us about in the Old Testament (Jesus will fulfill the rest on His second coming).

You have a problem? Why? Where? Details, please! And don't confuse God's law with the 600 some laws made by men.

The psalmist David continued: “The law of Jehovah is perfect, bringing back the soul. The reminder of Jehovah is trustworthy, making the inexperienced one wise. The orders from Jehovah are upright, causing the heart to rejoice; the commandment of Jehovah is clean, making the eyes shine. The fear of Jehovah is pure, standing forever. The judicial decisions of Jehovah are true; they have proved altogether righteous. They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much refined gold; and sweeter than honey and the flowing honey of the combs. Also, your own servant has been warned by them; in the keeping of them there is a large reward.”—Ps. 19:7-11.
David was here referring to God’s law given through Moses. It was perfect, without flaw, fully measuring up to the purpose for which it had been provided. That law could bring back the soul or the individual in the sense that obedience to it brought a reviving of his being and promoted his welfare.
All the reminders included in God’s law were trustworthy. They could safely be followed as a guide for life. Though inexperienced and unsure of himself, the person who heeded God’s reminders would act wisely, avoiding a course leading to ruin.
The orders or particularized rules set forth in the Mosaic law were upright, that is, in full harmony with principles of righteousness and justice. By conducting himself in harmony with the conviction that God’s orders are upright, a person would gain an inward happiness, a joy of heart.
Being pure, clean, without any undesirable trait, the commandment of Jehovah makes the eyes radiant with clearness of vision. It enables a person to avoid moral error and to follow an upright course.
A wholesome fear or a deep respect toward the Creator is manifest by obeying his commands. Such a fear is pure. It does not debase an individual as did the dread of false deities, whom their worshipers viewed as being angry and demanding to be appeased by human sacrifices. A wholesome fear of God is what the Law taught. Such a fear will continue to be expressed by Jehovah’s devoted servants. It is, therefore, a fear that stands forever.
God’s law consisted, in part, of judicial decisions. These were true, dependable, stable, being firmly founded on divine procedures of justice. In every respect those judicial decisions were righteous. Since the judicial decisions are from God and wholly beneficial, it is most desirable to have them in one’s mind and heart. They are more valuable than material riches—gold. To persons who allow themselves to be guided by them, they are sweeter than honey. These judicial decisions warn against a person’s taking a wrong course, strengthening his determination to resist temptation. Adherence to them is rewarding in that such obedience promotes the highest good of the individual. He shuns a course of life that would be emotionally, physically and mentally injurious.
Truly a law so helpful and beneficial as the one given to the Israelites furnishes eloquent testimony regarding a wise, just and loving God.
