Briefly. The Hammurabi code of law is similar to the ten commandments or most people would say Exodus but the theme was to obey, if not punishment
The 10 commandments are the base of laws that could be written, but the answer to the question is that they were significant because they are just laws.

The Code of Hammurabi is one of the oldest surviving text artifacts left from the Old Babylonian period. It is an early example of a fundamental law code that regulated government. In other words, it is an example of a very primitive, early form of a constitution.

The Ten Commandments are traditionally thought to have been handed down in the fifteenth century BCE, although scholars say that they were actually written several centuries later. The Hammurabi Code is far older than that.

The polytheistic law-code of Hammurabi was assembled by human beings, while the Torah which includes the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.20) was, according to tradition, given by God (Exodus 24:12). The code of Hammurabi, and those of Eshnuna, Lipit-Ishtar and the Hittites (etc.), were subject to occasional revision, reversal, and eventual abandonment, while the Torah's commands were not. Many law codes limit themselves to legal matters, whereas the Torah intersperses its laws with moral exhortations and subjects of belief, behavior and attitudes. The Jews, by and large, adhered to the practices of the Torah, which calls for kindness, charity, scholarliness, the value of human life, equal treatment, and the abhorrence of promiscuity. The code of Hammurabi, on the other hand, calls for literal retaliation. Robbers are killed. Women are not considered legally equal to men; and landless men are not judged equally to landowners.
They have nothing to do with Hammurabi, whose laws expose themselves as being both cruel and laden with idolatrous beliefs.
The Ten Commandments were a set of moral and religious laws handed down by God to Moses in the Hebrew Bible, emphasizing principles of worshiping one God and ethical behavior. The Code of Hammurabi was a set of laws governing the people of ancient Babylon, focusing on social and legal issues such as crime, commerce, and family relationships. Both were codes of laws, but the Ten Commandments had a more religious and moral focus while the Code of Hammurabi was more comprehensive in governing various aspects of society.
The ten commandments were laws that specifically based on the don`ts whiles the in the Hammurabi code the law came with a punishment for breaking it
The 10 commandments are the base of laws that could be written, but the answer to the question is that they were significant because they are just laws.
Both Moses and Hammurabi gave their people a set of laws to guide their lives. Moses gave the Israelites the Ten Commandments while Hammurabi gave his people 282 laws known as the Code of Hammurabi.
one has ten
My guess is that the Universal Moral Code was produced by mankind and The Ten Commandments came from the Almighty God
