Law of Moses or God’s Law?
The Ten Commandments were never called the law of Moses, but rather the law of God. First, understand this! The law of Moses consisted of (1) the civil laws, which were statutes and judgments that Moses relayed to the people from God, recorded in Exodus 21-23 and in the remaining books of the law and (2) the ritualistic laws (or ergon) that were added later,summarized in Hebrews 9:10.

They were ordinances regulating the job of the tribe of Levi in temple service and sacrifices (Leviticus 1-7) and associated functions.

The Ten Commandments were the terms of the Sinaitic covenant (Ex 34:28b,Dt 4:13), so that the terms "law" and "covenant" were used interchangeably (Ex 34:28b; Dt 4:13).
Thus, the Ten Commandments precede and transcend any and every lesser law or practice based upon them—statutes, judgments, precepts, and ordinances.
