: Zoroastrianism predated Judaism by 400 years or thereabouts. It's probably the oldest of all the 'organised' religions and very likely had a strong influence on the theology of Judaism. A central belief was the role of Ahura Mazda in creating ''asha'', the principle of truth by which the cosmos is ordered. I think that fits your concept of a single set of laws laid down by a single lawgiver.
