Hebrews 9:4 teaches that the "tables of the covenant" are included in the Old Covenant that was abrogated (cf. Hebrews 8:13).
The tables of the covenant were the Decalogue (Exodus 24:16).
Keil & Delitzsch: Into this ark Moses was to put “the testimony” (העדת; cf. Exodus 40:20). This is the name given to the two tables of stone, upon which the ten words spoken by God to the whole nation were written, and which Moses was to receive from God (Exodus 24:12). Because these ten words were the declaration of God upon the basis of which the covenant was concluded (Exodus 34:27-28; Deuteronomy 4:13; Deuteronomy 10:1-2), these tables were called the tables of testimony (ch. Exodus 31:18; Exodus 34:29), or tables of the covenant (Deuteronomy 9:9; Deuteronomy 11:15).

Circumcision also pre-dated the Mosaic code (cf. Genesis 17) but it too has been abrogated.
