there were jews before the Torah was given at Mt SinaiIt’s very well possible the ancients served other gods. The Israelites during that time were into idolatry that was BC.
why do you say "other Gods"
it says in the next line "Whoever finds me...finds life...and favor from The LORD God"
in the ancient sense: Anat was God's daughter, his holy house the temple enclosure...
when the Jews were liberated by Cambyses all of the egyptian temples were destroyed but the one to The LORD God.
Pharaoh's daughter (Exodus) - Wikipedia
Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, and her maidens walked beside the river; she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid to fetch it. When she opened it she saw the child; and lo, the babe was crying. She took pity on him and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children." Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?" And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." So the girl went and called the child's mother. And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him. And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son; and she named him Moses, for she said, "Because I drew him out of the water."
— RSV, Exodus 2:5–10
