The coverage of laws continues today in Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy.  The laws of tithing and the keeping of the sabbath are covered.  I hadn't thought of this before, but the commentary mentioned that one importance of resting on the sabbath is the contrast from slaving 24/7 in Egypt.  Another reminder of their deliverance.  Again the importance of revering God and following all his instructions is stressed.
