    During the Mesopotamian era, a king of Babylon had installed a stone in the public square on which code of laws were written.

    The sentences were in the form of if then statements, violation of which many severe punishments were inflicted on the subjects of Babylon. People when pleaded innocent, they were given the relief to present an evidence which would cancel the harsh punishment on them.

    Jesus Christ descended to give the Ten Commandments to the people of Israel. Both are set of principles which were given for an organized way of living in the society.

    Both Hammurabi and Moses recorded a complex system of laws which were unique to their times. Hammurabi claimed to receive his code from the Babylonian god of justice, Shamash. Moses received God's Law atop Mount Sinai directly from Jehovah, the God of the Israelites.
