Right after the 20 are named to moses God goes on to give more laws frank. Did you miss that part or are you not reading close enough? I think you missed that. Its okay, just read closer
Booth, Let's see if I can make this real simple for you by asking you some basic questions.... Does God still expect us to sacrifice lamps, heifers, and other animals today, to atone for our sins? No, these sacrificial laws were changed and later abolished. Does God still expect us to not steal, murder, lie, and commit adultery? Yes! Therefore, this simple fact that God does
not expect us to obey the sacrificial laws of the Old Covenant, but
does expect us to keep the laws of the Ten Commandments, prove that they are not part of the same law!
Moses' law was the temporary, ceremonial law of the Old Testament. It regulated the priesthood, sacrifices, rituals, meat and drink offerings, etc., all of which foreshadowed Christ Jesus. This law was added
"till the seed should come," and that seed was Christ (Galatians 3:16,19). The ritual and ceremony of Moses' law pointed forward to Christ, and this law came to an end, but the Ten Commandments (God's law)
"stand fast for ever and ever." (Psalm 111:8). To get a better picture of this, read the book of Hebrews.
