The followers are called Jews, because the Southern Kingdom was the only one to return, and all who were part of the Southern Kingdom became known as Jews. However, that has to do with their DNA and location, not their religion.

God gave Moses the Law, and it became known as the law of the God of Israel, and thus the Hebraic faith.

Not Judaism. Judaism is what the Pharisees set up that God had a HUGE problem with.

Would you agree though even Moses... who lived at least 1000 years prior, had a “hard” time preserving the Mosaic purity even in his time? And over time, Mosaic laws would change or vary, specifically from one tribe to anothers understanding ?

7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?
8 He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
