As Jews, Orthodox or otherwise, do not accept the validity of the Christian Old Testament, they do not follow anything in that text. The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach which is what the Christian Old Testament was based on. Within the Tanach, prevailing tradition holds that there 613 mitzvot or guidelines. Of these guidelines, many are tribe specific, job specific, gender specific, and location specific so all 613 mitzvot do not apply to any one person. Individuals observe those mitzvot that are applicable to them as an individual.
