In which ways did God reveal His Will to man before the written Word?

Answer 1

In our occidental tradition, he either spoke directly or send his "angels" to give a direct command. Or simply bomb the beejezus out of cities (sodom & gomorrah) and the very original flooding.

Answer 2

Well there were the ten plagues of Egypt.

The plagues as they appear in the Torah are:

(Exodus 7:14-25) rivers and other water sources turned to blood ('Dam')
(Exodus 7:26-8:11) reptiles (commonly believed to be frogs) ('Tsfardeia')
(Exodus 8:12-15) lice ('Kinim')
(Exodus 8:16-28) 'Arov', meaning either flies, wild animals or beetles
(Exodus 9:1-7) disease on livestock ('Dever')
(Exodus 9:8-12) unhealable boils ('Shkhin')
(Exodus 9:13-35) hail mixed with fire ('Barad')
(Exodus 10:1-20) locusts ('Arbeh')
(Exodus 10:21-29) darkness ('Choshech')
(Exodus 11:1-12:36) death of the firstborn ('Makat Bechorot'

Answer 3

In the Garden of Eden, GOD spoke directly and in person. When sin came, we were not able to stand in the presence of GOD. HE had to use other means, such as, dreams and visions. However, Moses and Paul were the only people after sin that have beheld the glory of GOD that I can recall.(think Mt. Sinai and road to Damascas)
