The Seven Noahide Laws

What are the seven Noahide laws?

The seven laws that were given to Adam and Noah are discussed in the Talmud (tractate Sanhedrin). In brief, these laws are: establishing a legal system; refraining from idolatry, blasphemy, murder, robbery, adultery and incest; and not eating from an animal while it is still alive. ("Adultery and incest" counts only as one; the Hebrew word for this class of forbidden sexual relations doesn’t have a one-word translation in English.)
