Many sages, such as both Maimonides (Rambam) and Nachmanides (Ramban), went to great lengths to enumerate exactly which of the written Torah's , known as the Pentateuch,commandments can be considerd fixed forevermore in contradistinction to many "commands" that God makes in the Torah at various points but are restricted as one-time acts.
Maimonides wrote his Sefer Hamitzvot, "Book of Commandments", with the aim of elucidating exactly which of the Torah's commandments are part of the 613 total.
He enumerates and eloborates on the 248 Positive commandments, mitzvot aseh .
He enumerates and elabortaes on the 365 Negative commandments, mitzvot lo taaseh .
