The Ten Commandments and the Code of Hammurabi are two ancient systems of laws that seek to create a legal or demonstrative system of law and justice in regards to behavior that was permissible and impermissible. The Code of Hammurabi was much longer and more specific in doling out punishments specifically. The Ten Commandments were shorter and rather than listing punishments instead gave ten commandments or laws that were activities that god did not wish for man to engage in.
