Also, the ten commandments clearly comes from human biology and basic human psychological make-up. Apart from the first three they're innate. These are all things nobody needs to be taught. I think the last seven are only there to sell in the first three.
Also, never mind that the Code of Ur-Nammu predates Moses getting those golden tablets by 400 - 800 years (even assuming the Christian range for the life of the purported Moses being somewhere between 1,600 - 1,270 BC). This is the oldest surviving code of laws, well pre-dating the Hebrews as a society. The purported Abram was just getting his Yahweh promises then....
