The Bible specifically states that some laws are for the children of Israel (the Jews) and others are universal.

Your example of Deuteronomy 22:29 doesn't pertain to rape. It pertains to a man thinking he can lead a woman on, sleep with her, and then dump her. Under God's law, He could not, and was required to pay her father a dowry and take care of her for the rest of her life. God's law protects women and their rights.

Leviticus 19:9 specifies that it is a law for the children of Israel (the Jews) and refers to helping the poor. Don't think you have to use up every last drop of everything for yourself - share with those who don't have anything!

Here's how you can tell the difference between universal laws and Jewish law - Jewish law will be preceded with specific instruction "to the children of Israel".
