→You're Confusing the "Rule of Law" With "Rule Through Law"
The Ten Commandments are an example of ruling through law, that is using a codified set of rules to govern behaviour in order to maintain society. While this is notable it is different to the rule of law which is discussed in this passage. Unless there is a Commandment which specifically states that the law shall not be applied arbitrarily then I don't see how we say they began the concept of the rule of law.
