The difference between "interpreting the law of G-d" and making human laws can be more semantic than real. Bet you that you can find lawmakers right here in the good 'ol US of A who think they're doing the former.

Constitution written 230 years ago. "Set of divine commands" written by someone 600 or 1200 years ago. What's the difference?
