You probably wanted to distinguish moral from legal, but the oldest code of laws is the Code of Hammurabi, written around 2000 BC. Not sure when the Bible is purported to have been written.

THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS PROBABLY COMPILED BY 400 BCE AND THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS ASSEMBLED BY 300 CE, IF THE HULKSTER IS REMEMBERING CORRECTLY, BROTHER!

BUT MORALITY IS INNATE IN NORMAL HUMAN BEHAVIOR, DUDE! SO YOU COULD SAY A MORAL FRAMEWORK HAS BEEN AROUND AS LONG AS WE'VE BEEN HOMO SAPIENS, MEAN GENE!

Modern man has been around for around 200,000 years. You mean to tell me we didn't develop a moral framework until some backward ass Hebrew tribe transcribed their flawed laws around 600 BC?

Gang violence...
until the bible was invented, humans would eat and/or rape the other human next to them if they were slower, smaller, or dumber. strangely, they still rested on sundays

Morality- conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral or virtuous conduct.
moral quality or character.
virtue in sexual matters; chastity.
a doctrine or system of morals.
moral instruction; a moral lesson, precept, discourse, or utterance.

So since humans have been around there has morals of some kind.

What you prob mean by your question is has there ever been morality system that mirrors the hebrew bible before it was written down.
