What's the difference between a God making a moral code from Moses making it, in terms of any non-Moses member of that early community?The main difference between a god's moral code and a human's is that the god can enforce his code at will.
We could also note that an omniscient god has much more information than a human, but as morality is ultimately subjective anyway I don't see that that matters.
The Mosaic law was presented for a special purpose and carried potential special reward. General judgment does consider that morality is subjective. Jesus and Paul say that people will be judged by their own standards.

The next question then would be: why should I think your moral code to be the right one?
