The 613 mitzvot (Torah-commands) are not Rabbinical in origin; they are from God (Exodus 24:12). They are found throughout the Torah, but within the Torah they are mostly concentrated in the books of Exodus (from ch.12 onwards), Leviticus and Deuteronomy. (There are some in Genesis and Numbers, but fewer.) The individual commandments are sometimes explicit (i.e. God spoke to Moses saying, command the people to do X) and sometimes implicit (i.e. God set the situation like Y so that X should occur).

Rabbinical laws are something else. They are written in the Talmud, not in the Torah. Most Rabbinical laws are intended not to introduce something new, but to be a safeguard to the Torah-laws. For example, Rabbinical law tells us not to handle an appliance on the Sabbath, while the Torah-law only forbids turning the appliance on or off during the Sabbath.
