"In the book of Exodus, after Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt, God gives Moses the spiritual and moral laws that he intends the Israelites follow, laws that became known as the Ten Commandments. The story is fascinating because it’s one of the few times in the Bible where God makes explicit his instructions to humanity, rather than using prophecy or interpretation. It shows the importance that God placed upon making a singular statement of principles, one so simple and clear that the Israelites would rely upon it forevermore."
General Jim Mattis, former Secretary of Defense calls this: "State your flat-ass rules and stick to them."
