The Seven Laws of Noah form the major part of the Noahide Laws or Noachide Code. This code is a set of moral imperatives that, according to the Talmud, were given by God as a binding set of laws for the children of Noah - that is, all of mankind.

According to Judaism any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as a Righteous Gentile and is assured of a place in the world to come (Olam Haba), the final reward of the righteous.

Adherents are often called “B’nei Noach” (Children of Noah) or “Noahides” and may often network in Jewish synagogues.

The seven laws listed by the Tosefta and the Talmud are

1.Prohibition of Idolatry
2.Prohibition of Murder
3.Prohibition of Theft
4.Prohibition of Sexual immorality
5.Prohibition of Blasphemy
6.Prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive
7.Establishment of law courts

The Noahide Laws comprise the six laws which were given to Adam in the Garden of Eden according to the Talmud’s interpretation of Gen 2:16 and a seventh one, which was added after the Flood of Noah.
