I'm not a biblical scholar, so I'm lacking the details and sources I should have, but there are parts of the torah with clear indications of universalist ideas about God and morals. What is important to remember is that the Hebrew bible and the religious ideas of ancient Judaism were not monolithic. Their beliefs and scriptures were the product of many people, sometimes in different geographic regions, developed, edited, and transcribed repeatedly over the course of more than a thousand years.
