“Why is the Star of David on a monument listing the Protestant version of the 10 Commandments?”

The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, are a set of commandments which the Bible describes as being given to the Israelites by God at biblical Mount Sinai. The Ten Commandments appear twice in the Hebrew Bible, first at Exodus 20:1-17, and then at Deuteronomy 5:4-21

Yes, but the Hebrew version of each Commandment are longer. The version we are most familiar with are also known as the Reader’s Digest version. e.g. “Thou shalt not kill” is “Thou shalt not take innocent life.”

What is that little eye thing like we see on our money doing on that monument?

In Exodus 34: 10-26 there appear to be an entirely different set of commandments. The version in Deuteronomy differs in some of the verbage from the version in Exodus 20. And Catholics follow a version different from Protestants and Jews. The version on the monument is the Protestant version.
