The Ten Commandments are part of the Mosaic Law. The Mosaic Law can be divided into three parts - The Moral Law - The Ceremonial Law - The Judicial Law.

The Moral Law is the Ten Commandments. They refer to what is right and what is wrong by God's standard.

The Ceremonial Law is about sacrifices, worship, religious duties - for Israel as God's chosen people. The Ceremonial Law showed the way the people of Israel were to approach God.

The Judicial Law regulated the administration of justice, the punishment of criminals, property rights etc.

Jewish tradition identifies 613 distinct commandments in the Torah, all of which tradition holds were given to Moses on Mt. Sinai. In the Jewish tradition, what Christians call the ten commandments are called the 10 statements because not all of them have the form of commandents. Jews consider themselves to be bound by the 613 commandments, while they consider non-Jews to be bound only by the 7 commandments of the Noachide covenant (the covenant of the Rainbow) discussed in the book of Genesis at the end of the story of Noah.
