You say Christian, but does the New Testament cover this area? I really am not sure if it does. You mention the Book of Deuteronomy in relation to Christianity, but that really isn't contextualizing things very well considering that the book of Romans makes it clear that followers of Christ are free from the law of the OT.
And I don't think that modern day Judaism would actually follow these passages today anyways- at least, I don't think so.
