God gave them to the Israelites (Exodus ch.19-20). Later, certain other nations recognized the importance of the Ten Commandments and adopted them (along with some additional Jewish concepts).

Why does Orthodox Judaism discourage converts?
There are three really practical reasons: First, the Jewish tradition holds that "the righteous of all nations have a place in the world to come," which is to say, you don't need to convert to Judaism to get into heaven or (in Christian terms) to be saved. Second, Judaism is genuinely difficult. Conversion to any branch of Judaism requires a long course of study, and being a Jew involves "bearing the yoke of the commandments." We're not talking of the Ten Commandments, we're talking about the 613 commandments found in the Torah. Third, Jews are subject to antisemitism. Until recently, under both Christian and Islamic law, converts were routinely executed. In the United States, after Warder Cresson converted to Judaism in 1848, he was declared insane -- he appealed and won, but that still demonstrates how recent and fragile the rights of converts are. Saudi Arabia still imposes the death penalty on Muslims who convert to other religions.
