The Levitical Law absolutely began at Sinai.
The Law of God's Love, of the Son of His Love, began from the foundation of the world.
The Levitical Law was added because of transgressions. If there were no transgressions the Levitical Law would not exist.
The Bible even records: "And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your hearing today, that you may learn them and be careful to observe them. The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive."
This promise vested in Abraham but the covenant was confirmed between Christ and God, the Father and the Son. This is the covenant that per-existed the Law: this is covenant the priests, before the Law, administrated. You cannot have priests without a covenant.
"And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect."
I get that we like things to be written down and in a "Thus say-ith the Lord..." form, but it simply was not so.
Adam walked with God. As did others. It was through this relationship, God with man, that men learned the mind of God. This was then passed to their children, and to their children's children. David was one such man in this line: a king who was also a priest. That is how he could eat the show bread and not be killed: he was acting out of a higher covenant: the sons of God.

Cain despised this as it meant he would have to humble himself and go to his brother for the acceptable sacrifice.
Never worked out that way and Cain slew Able.
