Yes the regulator is divine but people often have the wrong view of
the 10 commandments. They were also prescriptive telling the
Israelites how they were to live with one another and the nations
that surround them.
Taken out of context they simply become a set of rules. (Such as the
bumper stickers down here, live the 10 commandments.) Instead they
were a covenant between a people and a king (they follow the other
covenantal models of its time.) describing how the people were to
interact and live.
It was both prescriptive and proscriptive. (In other words not just
one sided.)

But, at least in this case, the "regulator" is divine.
