There are 613 Commandments in the Old Testament (Bible), but they all hang on just two--if you work all of your life to get these two right, you will have done well. The world's greatest teacher taught what they are:
Mt 22:37-40 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
I haven't fully researched this but to my understanding the Jews at the time of the Old Testament had several laws, consisting of several different things from, rules to obeying the sabbath and certain things you could not do on that day, to certain foods you could not eat, and certain procedures when entering the Temple,(only to be done by the priests at the time)
Jesus often mentioned some of the Jewish laws to the Pharisees to correct them in the transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament demonstrating that they (and we) were under the law and have now been put under Grace, the grace of God from the perfect and final sacrifice of his Son Jesus Christ.
The book of Leviticus, one of the books of Moses is mainly on the various laws the Jews had to obey, laws for the family, laws for the priests, law for the people if they had skin diseases, law for the sacrifices and so on.
The Torah does not contain any laws, however, it does contain 613 mitzvot which are the core guidelines upon which Jewish law is based.
The book of Leviticus contains two hundred and forty-two mitzvot (commands; laws).

Leviticus is a book of laws.
Literally, "Leviticus" means "of priests" (Kohanim).Leviticus (Vayikra) is the third book of the Torah (Five Books of Moses). It covers the topics of sacrifices, kosher-laws, ritual purity and impurity, laws against incest, laws of the kohanim, festivals, the seventh year and the Yovel (Jubilee year), and more.
The Ritual Purity Laws can be found in the Bible in the book of Leviticus. The purpose of these laws was to address spiritual and physical cleanliness.Answer:According to tradition, the laws of ritual purity have no bearing on physical cleanliness; they're entirely spiritual.
In the Book of Ezekiel, similar to laws or rules found in other parts of the Bible, there are guidelines provided for moral behavior, worship practices, and societal conduct. The book also emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's commands, repentance for wrongdoing, and the consequences of disobedience.
The Torah is known as the book of laws. It consists of: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
The purpose of Leviticus 25 was to establish laws concerning the Year of Jubilee, a special year of release and restoration for the Israelites and their land. It provided guidelines for the redemption of property, the treatment of slaves, and the importance of trusting in God's provision for the community.
Leviticus deals with how the Levitical priests were to carry out their tasks, and instructs Israel in the laws of sacrifice and sanctification.
In the Bible, the dietary laws are outlined in the book of Leviticus, particularly Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. These chapters detail what foods are considered clean or unclean for consumption by the Israelites. Generally, clean animals are those that chew the cud and have a split hoof, while unclean animals do not meet these criteria.
The Book of Leviticus.
Catholics do not adhere strictly to the laws outlined in the book of Leviticus, as it is part of the Jewish Torah. However, some principles and teachings from Leviticus are considered relevant, such as moral guidelines and teachings on social justice.
The Hebrew names for the books of the Bible are not translations of the English names. In Hebrew, books are usually named after their first significant word or words. The first word in the Book of Leviticus is Vayikra (ויקרא) which means "And [he] called".So, the Hebrew name for the Book of Leviticus is Vayikra.
Presuming you are referring to the Dietary Laws for Clean and Unclean Foods, then you should read Leviticus 11.Leviticus 11New King James Version (NKJV) Leviticus 11Foods Permitted and Forbidden
