Did, Moses do the ritual prayer?

Salaams All,
I was just curious;
Waawhayna ila moosawaakheehi an tabawwaa liqawmikuma bimisrabuyootan waijAAaloo buyootakum qiblatan waaqeemoo alssalatawabashshiri almu/mineena
We inspired Moses and his brother with this Message "Provide dwellings for your people in Egypt, make your dwellings into places of worship, and establish regular prayers and give glad tidings to those who believe!"
Taboo = repent
Illa allatheena taboowaaslahoo wabayyanoo faola-ika atoobuAAalayhim waana alttawwabu alrraheemu
Except those who repent and make amends and openly declare (the Truth) To them I turn; for I am Oft-returning, Most Merciful.
Bi-misra = with, persisting / persevering
Using Quranic Dictionary.
1087
And We inspired Moses and his brother that you repent for your people with persisting/ persevering parties and make your parties a focus and offer counsel and glad tidings to those who believe.Gods Blessings.

Salam.
Wasn't Abraham the one to whom The Exalted God Most Wise showed the way to pray?
2125 And We have made the Sanctuary to be a model for the people and a security. And you shall take the site of Abraham for connection. And We had entrusted to Abraham and Ishmael "You shall purify My Sanctuary for those who visit, and those who are devoted, and the kneeling, the prostrating."
So, if Abraham, who lived before Moses, prayed, kneeled and prostrated, in that order, then we can say that all the people from there and then did the same. Of course, The Exalted God Most Wise, knows best.
May The Exalted God AllMighty, The Most Powerful, The Most Merciful, The Most High, The Most Just, The Most Wise helps us all, guides us on the Straight Path, protects us all from the evil and especially from the satan the rejected one and gives us more good health, even more patience and extends our knowledge.
Peace.

Salaams Br,
if praying helps - carry on , but its not compulsory and if you ask a person who gains by your prayer say an alim who runs a masjid then no doubt he wouldn't want anything closing down his business of which you are a part and so his answer will be your prayer is compulsory.
(2125)And (remember) when we made The party of vying with one another for firmness for mankind and safety and take from the standing of Abraham of his counsel and we covenanted with Abraham and Ishmael that they purify/make righteous my party for those wanting to do good and who devote themselves and those who humble the submitting.
God Bless.
