Quite a few pre-Jewish religions had equivalents and parallel teachings, most influential to Judeo-Christian philosophy being the Zoroastrian Asha Vahishta.

I'm of the opinion that God's commandments were not totally unknown before Sinai. It's very likely that other cultures and societies were aware of them and tried to follow them to the best of their ability.
