To tell the people of Israel how to live their lives.
God wanted to give the Torah in a public, incontrovertible way. To accomplish that, He gave the Ten Commandments in the presence and the eyes and ears of the entire Jewish nation, to be the central pillar upon which the rest of the Torah would stand. For this public utterance (the Ten Commandments), God chose a relatively short list of some very basic and important commands which need little elaboration and are not likely to be argued over.
