The one different between one of the laws of Hammurabi and one of the laws of the Ten Commandments is the scop. Law of Moses speaks about sin and responsibility to God while the Hammurabian Code does not. The Code of Hammurabi focused on criminal and civil laws and laid out the hard and brutal punishments. Though the Law of Moses talks about justice, it focuses on spiritual laws and personal holiness.
