The Ten Commandments were a set of moral and religious laws handed down by God to Moses in the Hebrew Bible, emphasizing principles of worshiping one God and ethical behavior. The Code of Hammurabi was a set of laws governing the people of ancient Babylon, focusing on social and legal issues such as crime, commerce, and family relationships. Both were codes of laws, but the Ten Commandments had a more religious and moral focus while the Code of Hammurabi was more comprehensive in governing various aspects of society.
The code of Hammurabi is the first written legal code of the recorded history of the Babylonian State which was found in the famous Rosetta stone currently found in the British Museum. Hammurabi is the name of the ruler who first created written rules circa 1700 BCE
Well, firstly, they're completely different law sets that were written hundreds of years apart. The Twelve Tables were Rome's Constitution-like law codes. They were written and amended by many people and government terms/years. It is closer to modern law when considering the fact that it actually recognizes trial. Hammurabi's Code is a Babylonian law code collected in a timely manner by one person: Hammurabi. Despite the fact that it's older than the Twelve Tables, the Code of Hammurabi is much more specific and recognizes people's rights (aside from trial) much better.
Hammurabi made 282 laws. :)
King Hammurabi of Babylon created one of the earliest known written legal codes, known as the Code of Hammurabi. It was established around 1754 BC and consisted of 282 laws governing various aspects of Babylonian society.
Lawbook of Manu was longer because it explained the punishments for crimes. The Code of Hammurabi just kind of based it off of social classes and it would just say "if a commoner stole from someone higher up, he should be killed" instead of explaining why.
the ten commandments have 681 laws the code of Hammurabi has 282 laws
The ten commandments were laws that specifically based on the don`ts whiles the in the Hammurabi code the law came with a punishment for breaking it
ten commandments totally
The polytheistic law-code of Hammurabi was assembled by human beings, while the Torah which includes the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.20) was, according to tradition, given by God (Exodus 24:12). The code of Hammurabi, and those of Eshnuna, Lipit-Ishtar and the Hittites (etc.), were subject to occasional revision, reversal, and eventual abandonment, while the Torah's commands were not. Many law codes limit themselves to legal matters, whereas the Torah intersperses its laws with moral exhortations and subjects of belief, behavior and attitudes. The Jews, by and large, adhered to the practices of the Torah, which calls for kindness, charity, scholarliness, the value of human life, equal treatment, and the abhorrence of promiscuity. The code of Hammurabi, on the other hand, calls for literal retaliation. Robbers are killed. Women are not considered legally equal to men; and landless men are not judged equally to landowners.
i dnt understand your question at ALL
The Ten Commandments are traditionally thought to have been handed down in the fifteenth century BCE, although scholars say that they were actually written several centuries later. The Hammurabi Code is far older than that.
Briefly. The Hammurabi code of law is similar to the ten commandments or most people would say Exodus but the theme was to obey, if not punishment
The ten commandments is not a code of law.
They have nothing to do with Hammurabi, whose laws expose themselves as being both cruel and laden with idolatrous beliefs.
the difference between the ten commandments also known as the Hebrew's code and the laws of other peoples like the Greeks and Romans is that the Ten commandments are ten laws given by God send by Moses while the Hebrew code giving by Jewish laws. The laws of the Romans and the Greeks were secualar.
