Of course not.
The trinity was only invented as a compromise, to draw idol worshipers to the new Christian religion, thousands of years after Moses.

Jesus revealed the God the Father, although in the Old Testament they had already experienced the Holy Spirit at work, as well as addressing mighty Jehovah. The Holy Spirit is with the Church in a more powerful way than He could be in the Old Testament, where He was mainly involved with specific anointings. This is why we christians can call God our Father quite legitimately, and can know God's presence personally (the Holy Spirit)
You are just quoting some references; listen to the whole counsel of God to get the full picture; the Koran is twisting off course, denying a Saviour we all actually need. You won't find forgiveness of sins through Mohammed's image of God.

Moses couldn't have worshiped the Trinity. He didn't know that the second person of the Trinity, Jesus, even existed! And we know that Jesus believed in the Holy Spirit. In John chapter 20 verse 22, Jesus appears to His apostles and breathes on them, saying "Receive the Holy Spirit." And as He is ascending into Heaven, He tells His disciples to "Go and teach all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even until the end of time." I think that pretty much proves that the Holy Trinity has biblical origin. (btw, if you don't believe me, look up Matthew 28:19)
And by honoring the Trinity we are not worshiping false gods, like you seem to have alluded to. The Trinity is three persons in one God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. St. Patrick explained it as being like a clover, three branches coming from one stem. Does that make sense? God bless!

I don't think it's completely possible for a human to understand the Trinity. However, I believe it is clear that the there was an understanding of the Trinity throughout the Bible. Even in the OT there are references to a coming Messiah, and references to the Holy Spirit. It is not wrong to refer to the Trinity as The One God, because it is. There's 3 entities sharing the same essence in a way that we just cannot understand or comprehend.

Moses was Jewish, which means he worshipped ONE G-D.
The Jewish idea of God is that God is One and Indivisible. We cannot divide God up into separate parts, where each part of God is UnEqual to each of the other parts, but somehow they are one and the same. The Hebrew Scriptures describes God as an absolute One, but the Christian's New Testament describes the Christian idea of God as divisible into three parts called a trinity. In the Christian's New Testament, Jesus at one point claims to have different knowledge than other parts of the Christian Trinity. For example, Matthew 24:36 or Mark 13:32. In another verse, Jesus does not have the same power as other parts of the Christian Trinity, for example, Luke 23:34. And in Matthew 26:42, Jesus's will is not the same as the will of the Father. Indeed, Jesus often contrasted himself with the Father, for example, in John 14:28, or Luke 18:19. Furthermore, Jesus supposedly said that the punishment for blaspheming against one part of the Trinity is not the same punishment for blaspheming against another part of the Trinity. In the Hebrew Scriptures, however, God is One, as we read in Deuteronomy 6:4, as well as in Isaiah 44:6, where God tells us, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." When Isaiah tells us that God said, "I am the first," it means that God has no father. When Isaiah tells us that God said, "I am the last," it means that God has no literal son. And when Isaiah tells us that God said, "Besides me there is no God," it means that God does not share being God with any other god, or demi-god, or semi-god, or persons, and there is no trinity.

Interesting an thought provoking question! Makes me want to check it out thoroughly!
But for now, I'll say that Moses came before the "trinity" doctrine. "Trinity" is not used in the Bible; but the belief about three beings being one God, was revealed to believers later, by the Holy Spirit. Moses may have had an understanding about God and Christ, as he had the Holy Spirit, and was inspired by God.

Im sure that any one before he coming of Crist worshipped just God and yes jesus worshiped only God and no himself but the reason why we worship the trinity is because God sent Jesus to be sacrificed on the cross for our sins and rise from he dead three days later and who soever belivef in him wont perish but have ever lasting life. the holy spirit I belive is in all acullallity a part of God himself but I dont really remember so Ill have To look i up in my Bible

My dear, why don't you take a deep breath, and do a little better research of what you ask, not just copy and paste of what others point to you, in which many circumstances are wrong.
for one.
"my God, my God, why haven't you forsaken me?"
it was HAVE not Haven't!
1 Corinthians 8:6
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him.
Have you noticed the words "the Father"! ever wonder why would Jesus call God "The Father"!
Think for yourself, not what others tell you to think. Let the Christians be. If they want to believe in God, Jesus Christ, and the Trinity. What is it to you. Live and let live.
You believe Muhammad was a prophet and they don't. It does not feel good when you hear that does it. Personally, I don't know if he was or wasn't, but I would not sit on my high horse as you and claim they must be wrong and I am right, as you are doing. Maybe that tells you how it feels when people like you put other people's faith down.
You have asked this question Four times! Why?
I hope you are not a radical Muslim. We need to be good to one another not pick on each others. Let's be kind to each others. All of us. Please.
As for Moses. what I know is that he worshiped God, and believes in the Holy Spirit which was speaking to him, and was waiting for the saviour.
Live and let live.
Peace to ALL.

Moses knew that Messiah was going to come. Jesus and God of Moses are the same thing. There is no three personals in trinity.

Moses was the first to write about the Trinity.
Obviously Jesus knew about it, but God doesn't worship Himself.
All the passsages you quote refer to the fact that our God is One.
You missed all the passages which talk about God being Three Persons.
Why?
Abraham knew there was a Trinity.
When God visited him, Three Men were there, not one.
I don't suppose you've ever read Genesis chapter 18, have you?
Nope, you haven't.
But if you'd like to there is a link below.
I'm guessing you won't even click on the link.
But I hope I'm wrong.
