The entire Torah, which was given during the lifetime of Moses with all of its laws. Among the Torah's laws, one of the first is Exodus 12:2, that Nissan shall be the first of the months. Many other laws follow in the same chapter.

Earlier still are Genesis 32:33 (prohibiting the sciatic nerve) and 17:10 (circumcision). See also Genesis ch.9 (which, however, preceded Abraham).
