Several classes of them. One set of moral laws deals with one's relationship with God, such as belief in Him (Exodus 20:2), His oneness (Deuteronomy 6:4), obedience to Him (Deuteronomy 13:5), fulfilling one's vows (Numbers 30:3), etc.

Another set of moral laws deals with the prohibition of incest (Leviticus ch.18).


A third set of moral laws deals with maintaining an ethical society. This includes the prohibition against mistreating strangers, orphans or widows (Exodus 22:20-21), the commandment to lend money to the needy (Deuteronomy 15:7-8), to help a person in danger (Leviticus 19:16) or a struggling animal (Exodus 23:5), etc.
