What was the significance of the ten commandments to the ancient hebrews

Often known as Aseret HaDibrot ('Ten Sayings' in Hebrew) or Decalogue, the Ten Commandments are the first ten of the 613 commandments issued to the Jewish people by God. They form the basis, as well as civil and religious law, in Jewish ethics.

The significance of the ancient Hebrews' ten commandments was that God proclaimed that his own people were the Israelites and that they had to listen to God and observe His laws. The Ten Commandments issued to Moses on two stone tablets were these rules, and they laid forth the universal values that would rule the lives of the Israelites.
