A moral is a human development based off self-conscience of a society. One's conscience is originally given as God's Law written in our hearts. In a nutshell, a moral is based off but deviated from God's Law written in our hearts. It's deviated because our hearts get hardened day by day and generation by generation. Our moral thus shifts from time to time and from society to society.

In OT and mainly with the Jews as audience, God make a set of more explicit Law, that is Mosaic Law, for the Jews to obey. It is more or less for the restriction of the Jews to avoid them from being more deviated from God's standard. Non-Jews (Gentiles) may find some of them applicable though, such as those in the 10 commandments.
