The Seven Laws God Gave to All of Humanity — Finally Bound in One Book You Can Hold, Read Aloud, and Hand Down
Not a sermon. Not an opinion. The actual verses, the actual Talmud pages, the actual ruling of Maimonides — printed in the original Hebrew beside plain English, for a first-time reader.
There is a covenant in your Bible with your name on it. Almost nobody has shown it to you.
Genesis chapter 9. Noah steps off the ark. God speaks — and before Abraham, before Moses, before there is a Jewish people at all, He makes a covenant with every family that will ever live. He seals it with a rainbow. And He gives it terms.
The Jewish tradition has known those terms for two thousand years. The Talmud lists them. Maimonides rules on them. They are called the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah — and if you are not Jewish, they are, according to that tradition, the entire content of what God requires of you.
Seven. Not six hundred and thirteen. Seven.
"Our Rabbis taught: seven commandments were the children of Noah commanded."
The problem is that until now you had two choices: dig through Aramaic in a tractate of the Talmud, or trust a website. We spent months doing the first so that you would never have to do the second.
Inside the 66 pages of The Book of Seven you will discover…
- PAGE 13The one verse in Genesis 2 — spoken to Adam in the Garden — in which the Sages find six of the seven laws hiding in six ordinary words. Once you see it, you cannot un-see it.
- PAGE 14The exact Talmudic passage, in Hebrew and English, that lists the Seven. Show it to anyone who tells you the "Noahide laws" are a modern invention.
- PAGE 17Why "One God" forbids far less than you fear — and what it actually asks of a person's heart.
- PAGE 42The word in Genesis 2:16 the Talmud says contains the law of courts — and why God commands a society, not just a soul.
- PAGE 37The law of mercy to animals, the one added after the Flood, and the surprising compassion it plants in a person.
- PAGE 45Maimonides' ruling on exactly who is counted "among the pious of the nations" — and the one condition he attaches.
- PAGE 51A seven-night reading plan for a household — one law a night, twenty minutes aloud.
- PAGE 53Every source, printed in the original Hebrew. Check us. We want you to.
"But isn't this…"
No — and this is the whole point. The Seven Laws are, by definition, what the Torah asks of people who are not Jewish. Maimonides says outright that one who does not wish to take on the Torah's commandments "is not compelled" (Laws of Kings 8:10). There is nothing to join. There is a text, and a life that answers it.
Every chapter cites chapter and verse: Torah, Talmud (Sanhedrin 56a–59a), Mishneh Torah (Laws of Kings 8–10). The Hebrew is printed in full in the appendix. Our explanations are clearly marked as ours. The sources are not.
66 pages. One law per chapter. Written for someone who has never opened a page of Talmud. Large, clear type on cream paper. Most readers finish it in a week — one chapter a night.
You can read fragments online. You cannot put fragments on your table, read them aloud to your children, or hand them to a friend in a hard season. A covenant is meant to be kept. This is the keeping edition.
"Whoever accepts the seven laws and is careful to keep them is among the pious of the nations of the world, and has a share in the World to Come."
