Yeah there are Laws mentioned in the book of Numbers.. And you will find the OT Laws mentioned in nearly every book in the Bible.. NT books included.. But the question i was dealing with was,, What books should one read to find the OT Laws given.. And my reply narrowed it down to the ones i quoted.. If a person reads those books they will have the OT laws revealed to them.. I could have narrowed it down to Exodus and Leviticus, a person would know the vast majority of the OT Law if they just read those two books..

Matthew 22:
37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
I would say that this covers everything that came before. Works and rituals are replaced by faith and love. Works flow forth as a result. They are the proof and evidence of true faith.
Ephesians 2:
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
