  This verse blows to smithereens any notion that the law was given to all men for all ages! The answer to the rhetorical question in the verse is... None! No other nation upon the face of the earth was given the laws & statutes that were given to Israel. Otherwise this & a vast number of other Scriptures make no sense at all. This means that the Ten Commandments were -not given- to Adam, Abraham, Melchizedek, Isaac, Jacob, Esau, Joseph, Pharaoh,  or anybody else. They were given to the Nation of Israel and them only. Then they were ~Taken Away~ by Messiah on His cross. So anybody who wants to say that the Ten Commandments are still in force and binding on all men, are saying that that which does not exist is "still in force and binding on all men", which is absurd. Those who build their doctrine on the Ten  Commandments are building on a vapor folks. Those who "keep the sabbath" are keeping that which does not exist... except in their minds.
