Kaisipang Hudyo sa Exodo 2:15: Sefer Yesodei HaTorah

"Religion" came to the children of Israel as an inheritance from their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and not as a teaching from Moses. As Moses said to them when he came to them (Shemoth 2:15) "The L-rd, the G-d of your fathers, the G-d of Abraham, the G-d of Isaac, and the G-d of Jacob, sent me to you." What was that religion? Moses did not apprise them of it explicitly, there being no need of his doing so for the men of his generation, who already knew it. But for the benefit of future generations, he apprised us of its nature by recording within it ["by word of G-d"] events from the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and his sons. From these, we see that they believed in One G-d, Possessor of heaven and earth, Judge of all the earth, Shield of those who fear Him, bestowing upon them goodly reward, and requiting the evil with the work of their hands. From there we see that they believed in signs and wonders, and angels, and prophecy, and that they were concerned about where they would be buried (whence we infer that they believed in the eternity of the soul and in the resurrection of the dead.) We find them praying to G-d in all of their tribulations — for others as well (e.g., Abraham for Avimelech). They vowed unto Him, and when He saved them, they thanked Him and offered sacrifices to Him. "The way of the L-rd" commanded by Abraham to "his children and his household after him" was "to do righteousness and judgment" (viz. Bereshith 18:19).
