The primary purpose of the Ten Commandments was to describe God's rules of behavior.

The Ten Commandments are a set of ethical and worship principles that play an important role in Judaism and Christianity. They include instructions such as worshiping God alone and keeping the Sabbath, as well as prohibitions against idolatry, murder, theft, dishonesty and adultery. Different religious groups follow different traditions in how to interpret and list them.

According to the story told in the Book of Exodus, God wrote these commands on two tablets of stone, which he gave to Moses on Mount Sinai; According to the story, when he came down from the mountain, he saw the people were worshiping a golden calf and he broke them. Later, he asked God to forgive the people and to seal with him a covenant; Then, the Lord commanded Moses to take two stone slabs and in them were written the Ten Commandments of the covenant, rebuking him that "disobedience must not be tolerated."
