Ordinances governing Israel’s religious life
Exodus 24:12-Exodus 31:18
The commandments and ordinances combined created a single religious system.
Matt. 5: 17, 18
The commandments were described as a ministry of condemnation and death:
2 Cor. 3:7-9
The ordinances gave the high priest (a representative for the people of the Lords and in the sacrifices gave them a cover an atonement for sin before Christ was sacrificed as the ultimate atonement for sin:
Lev. 16:6
As we see in the comparison between Hebrews, Romans and Galatians, we as Christians are not under the conditional Mosiac Covenant of works, of the law but are under the New Covenant of Grace.
Hebrews 5:1-3
Hebrews 9:6-9
Romans 3:21-27. 
Romans 6:14-15
Galatians 2:16
Galatians 3:10-26
Galatians 4:21-31
Heb. 10:11-17
Notice the law did not change the Abramic Covenant but was added until Christ came.
Gal. 3:17-19
After Christ's crucifixion and rising from the dead because of His ultimate blood sacrifice, we were no longer under the law but under grace meaning no more animal or bird blood sacrifices were needed for the atonement of sins because Jesus Christ was the ultimate sacrifice for all of our sins.
Romans 6:14-15
Hebrews 7:22
Jesus did not come to change the ordinances, laws of government and judgements but to fulfil them.
​Matthew 5:17
