Moses receiving the commandments from God on Mount Sinai.
Moses copied these laws directly into the "Torah," which is basically the Hebrew bible.
There are 613 commandments, instructing how one should lead his/her life, although the main commandments are just 10.
The Torah is divided into the "Five Books of Moses":
Genesis (בראשית, Bereshit: "In the beginning...")
Exodus (שמות, Shemot: "Names")
Leviticus (ויקרא, Vayyiqra: "And he called...")
Numbers (במדבר, Bamidbar: "In the desert...")
Deuteronomy (דברים, Devarim: "Words", "Discourses", or "Things")
If you have any further questions, add details and I'll be happy to help!
