Where in the Bible do we find the first law God gave to the human race?

The first law God gave to the human race is found in Genesis chapter 3, beginning in verse 2, where Eve repeats God's command to the serpent. The context identifies this as the first law given to humanity, as God's statement became law.

Les teaches that the first law God gave to the human race is found in Genesis chapter 3, beginning at verse 2. He explains that when Eve is confronted by Satan, she repeats God's command about the trees of the garden, and when God says something, that becomes law. Les calls this the first law given to humanity, noting Eve quotes it mostly correctly but not 100%.
