Ilana-Davita posted about the seven Noachide laws. According to Jewish tradition, these commandments are also binding on non-Jews. Here's a mnemonic for remembering them:
Aleph-Bet-Gimel-Dalet and the Big Three
- א Aleph--Ever min hachai, the prohibition against eating a limb from a living animal
- ב Bet--Birkat Hashem, blessing of God-- a euphemism for the prohibition against blasphemy
- ג Gimmel--Gezel, the prohibition against stealing
- ד Dalet--Dinim, the obligation to set up a court system to enforce the law and settle disputes.
The Big Three:
- Shfichut Damim, spilling blood i.e. murder
- Avodah Zarah, idolatry
- Gilui Arayot, sexual transgressions such as adultery.
