What would Western society look like without these Commandments?
1) "I am the Lord your God..." has shaped the Western beliefs about God. Pantheism and polytheism, which were excuses for immorality, are out.
2) The 7-day week, including a day of rest for everyone, is thanks to the Fourth Commandment.
3) Without the Fifth Commandment, society might still permit abandoning our aged parents to die.
4) Without the Sixth Commandment, we might still be killing our own children. Aristotle, who was among the greatest of the Greeks, and Seneca, the famous Roman, both write that killing one's young babies is perfectly acceptable; and that was the practice in their societies.
The above are just a few examples.
Moses wrote the Ten Commandments on two stone tablets on Mount Sinai.
The two structures were the Tabernacle, a portable tent used by the Israelites during their desert wanderings, and the Ark of the Covenant, a sacred container that housed the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments are traditionally kept in the Ark of the Covenant. According to biblical accounts, they were inscribed on two stone tablets given to Moses on Mount Sinai.
The differences between the two are that the bible is made up of many books, written by prophets and apostles. While the ten commandments is the ten laws given to Moses, for the Hebrew people. (The Ten Commandments are part of the Bible.)
The original two tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18) were destroyed by Moses (Exodus 32:19). In Exodus 34, God told Moses to "Prepare two stone tablets, like the first ones. I will write on them the same words that were on the tablets you smashed". The words of the Ten Commandments are listed in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. Their wording differs somewhat, though the commands themselves are identical. The Ten Commandments were written on two stone tablets and those commandments can be grouped into two categories. In Matthew 22:34-40 Jesus condensed the Ten Commandments into two sets of commands: 1. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" 2. "Love your neighbor as yourself". Reverence for God is the basis for the first group, and reverence and love for others was the basis for the second group. If you obeyed both of these commandments then you would obey all Ten Commandments."
The Ten Commandments are on two rocks that God had made for Moses
Moses received two tablets when he received the Ten Commandments.
The connection between them is simply love.

The "Ten Commandments" are associated with the Abrahamic Religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). Buddhism is a Dravidic Religion. These two religious origins have little or no overlap in their core beliefs and nooverlap in their religious texts. Buddhism does not follow the Ten Commandments.
