The Noahide (or Noachide) Code of 7 Divine Commandments was given to Noah and his children after the flood, and given to mankind once again by Moses on Mount Sinai.
The Divine Code is the foundation of all true morality. Following these commandments ensures that humanity will not degenerate into a lawless, uncivilized, chaotic environment again. The laws prohibit (1) idolatry, (2) blasphemy, (3) homicide, (4) forbidden relations, (5) robbery, and (6) eating meat that was taken from a still-living animal (cruelty to animals), and require (7) establishment of courts of justice. The precepts included in these commandments provide the guidelines for truly moral behavior.
