Ten is a composite number: being 2 times 5.
Two is the number of duality, or separation from God, or the immersion of the Spirit into matter.
Five is the number of grace, or reunion w/ God, or the ascent of Spirit out of the tomb of matter (also symbolized by the 5-pointed star pentacle, pointed upright).
This cycle (the periodic immersion of Spirit into matter, and its consequent liberation) is the great karmic cycle of the Cosmos, and it is the LAW (God's Law). Hence 2*5 = 10 is the Number of the Law.
