To answer this question, one must have knowledge of all other religions ever practiced anywhere. I don't think anyone is so equipped.

The written Torah is old enough that it's unlikely there are any teachings in it that have never been adopted/adapted by any younger religions.

@msh210 - or take a couple comparative religion courses

I don't think that any search engine can account for every single teaching but I'm also not sure what counts as "ethical" teaching as opposed to a non-ethical one.

I think this is an important question One doesn't need to need to know every single religion but there are numerous works that compare the various major world religions.
