Why were both the Code of Hammurabi and the Ten Commandments needed by their respected communities?

They were both needed because they both gave a set of laws or rules for the people to follow; the Code of Hammurabi was given to the Babylonian people as laws for when something wrong was done while the ten commandments were given to the Israelite people as rules/law to follow from their God.

I hoped this helped a little! >3
