The Laws of Manu do not have a very strong connection to religion. They relate more to the social issues that faced them in their time. Also the text is a lot more simple than the Mosaic Code. It only states what needs to be said and does not provide any examples. In the Mosaic Code almost every law has an example. Also the Mosaic code has a law for almost everything. It has a law for what you should do if you see your brothers ox walking around free. It also describes the punishment for the laws and crimes described in the Mosaic code. Usually it's just the capital punishment death. In the laws of Manu the punishment fits the crime more.
