The Ten Commandments are most likely revisions and adaptations of earlier Hittite and Mesopotamian laws and treaties, probably dating from the 7th Century BCE.

I’m not well-versed about that history. I would note the first four commandments are explicitly religious aimed at the Jewish people.

I do see the irony? hypocrisy? of Christians who say they are under a “new Covenant” and then cite the Old Testament for much of their culture wars.
