I don't see much point (beyond self interest for the God involved) in not having any other Gods before it, and having no idols, and not misusing the word God. And it strikes me as particularly interesting, and ironic, that those laws are first, before violence to others :-)

Just FYI- if I were creating a top 10, I think I'd put "Though shalt not rape little children" at the top of the list...

And then
"Thou shalt not rape anyone else either"

because you always have to worry about people taking away the wrong message

Yes, I'm basically ignoring the OT, since Christ served to repudiate some of Jewish law and practices in the time and also served to refine the character of God beyond the wrathful persona of the OT.
