The funny thing is, that’s actually sort of what happens in the Bible. The laws people call the Ten Commandments were the first set of laws Moses brought down. Then the people smashed them, so he brought down a second set of laws that are the only laws in the Bible called the Ten Commandments. They include not boiling a baby goat in its mother’s milk and not making a blood sacrifice with yeast.

Moses broke the first tablets, not the people, not that it actually happened or matters at all to anyone lol. Also, fun fact, the whole goat in its mother’s milk thing is why modern practicing Jews don’t eat cheeseburgers.

Not quite so cut and dry, but yeah. This is a likely possibility for what is meant by “the 10 commandments.”
