"And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights: he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments" (Exodus 34:28).
Known as The Covenant of Moses..was it "conditional" based upon obedience to the law and therefore terminated (in its redemptive value) because Israel failed to meet those conditions and broke their covenant made at Sinai?
Moses proved this was not The Covenant of Abraham by:
"The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day" (Deuteronomy 5:3).

Some of you are very good! So there is a NEW Covenant? Does it replace the redemptive effects of the Mosaic Covenant of the Law but not the Covenant of Abraham?

Check Hebrews 8. This describes the New Covenant (NC).
Keep an eye on the details of the verses. The problem was never whether will keep HIS end of the covenant, but, that the Israelites could not keep their end.
The Ten Commandments were written with the hand of GOD. All of the other laws were written by the hand of Moses. Is there a significance to this? There is a permanent nature to something written on stone versus something written on paper.
What would the world be like if Adam and Eve never took of that apple? What would the world be like if we obeyed the Ten Commandments?
These are very relevant questions that can easily be answered in our time.

The new pact covers all commandments. No it's not nullified.. just worded differently in a deductive form...
Jesus said in Matthew 22: 37-40: " Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments."
The first commandment "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment."....in the New Testament covers the first few Mosaic Commandments 1. You shall have no other God before me. 2. You shall not have idols. 3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord. 4. Remember the Sabbath by keeping it holy. This new covenant covers all areas of of the first four Mosaic commandments.
The second commandment, "Love your neighbor as yourself." cover commandments 5-10: 5. Honor your father and mother. 6. You shall not kill. 7. You shall commit adultery. 8. You shall not steal. 9. You shall bear false witness. 10. You shall not covert. The second new covenant covers the last half of the Mosaic Covenant. A person who is truly in the faith will not break any of these commandments because his/her heart is set on God.
Basically the Mosaic Covenant is still covered by the two commandants Jesus gave in the New Covenant.

Jeremiah 31:31 "Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
This New Covenant came into effect when our iniquity was forgiven by the shedding of Jesus' blood and when every person could know the Lord and have the law written on our hearts by the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things and convicts people of sin.

NO IT IS NOT DONE AWAY WITH. IT IS THE SAME COVENANT JUST NOW GOD WILL PUT HIS LAWS IN OUR HEARTS.
Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

No it is fulfilled. Jesus said that he came to fulfill the Law not to abolish it. Paul explains that the Law showed us that we are sinners and pointed to a Messiah that would come and make us right with God, this is Jesus
