	Noahide Laws - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Opinions differ on the reach of these commandments and the laws derived from them, but all contemporary authorities agree that there are seven commandments.
		These commandments and laws are based on oral traditions as well as scriptural exegesis of Genesis 2:16 and 9:4-6.
		This, in addition to the teaching of the Jewish law that punishment for violating one of the seven Noahide Laws includes a theoretical death penalty (Talmud, tractate Sanhedrin 57a), is a factor in modern opposition to the notion of a Noahide legal system.

	Morality
		The seven Noachide laws as traditionally enumerated are: (1) the prohibitions of idolatry, (2) blasphemy, (3) bloodshed, (4) sexual sins, (5) theft, (6) eating from a living animal, as well as (7) the injunction to establish a legal system.
		It is incorrect to think that since the Children of Israel have 613 Commandments and the Children of Noah have seven commandments, the ratio of spiritual worth is proportionally 613 to seven.
		The commandment to be fruitful and multiply was given to Noah, but inasmuch as it was not repeated at Mount Sinai, this commandment is not considered part of the Seven Universal Laws.

	Jewish Law - Articles - The Obligation of Jews to Seek Observance of Noachide Laws by Gentiles: A Theoretical Review
		A Noachide, even though he violates the seven Noachide commandments, and his warning is his execution and he does not need formal witnesses and warning, nonetheless every moment prior to his conviction in beit din, he is not liable for the death penalty and it is prohibited to kill him.
		Interestingly, Machzor Vitri notes that only 606 commandments were given to the Jews at Sinai, since the Jews were already commanded in the Noachide laws prior to that; this is also noted by Gra as derived from the word "Ruth", whose value is 606, which Gra asserts is the additional commandments she became obligated in.
		In this case the mitzvah is dinim, the Noachide is the principal, and the Jew is the agent.

		Be mindful that as you observe these seven mitzvoth, do not say in your heart, "I am performing these commandments because they make sense to my intellect and understanding." Rather, proclaim that you are fulfilling them because the God of Israel commanded you to keep them.
		It is a mistake to suppose that since the children of Israel have 613 commandments and the children of Noah have seven commandments, that the ratio of spiritual worth of a gentile to a Jew is proportionally seven to 613.

		Yochanan (Ibid.), by associating these seven laws with the verse containing God’s Instructions to Adam in the Garden of Eden (Beraishit 2:16), implies that these commandments predate even the time of Noach, and originate with the creation of the first human beings, Adam and Chava.
