Question
What are the seven Noahide laws?
Answer
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.)
