According to the Talmud, the Noahide Laws apply to all humanity. In Judaism, בני נח B'nei Noah (Hebrew, "Descendants of Noah", "Children of Noah") refers to all of humankind.[17] The Talmud also states: "Righteous people of all nations have a share in the world to come".[18] Any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as one of "the righteous among the gentiles".

The rabbis agree that the seven laws were given to the sons of Noah. However, they disagree on precisely which laws were given to Adam and Eve. Six of the seven laws are exegetically derived from passages in Genesis. The Talmud adds extra laws beyond the seven listed in the Tosefta which are attributed to different rabbis, such as the grafting of trees and sorcery among others,[19]: 30–31[20] Ulla going so far as to make a list of 30 laws.[21] The Talmud expands the scope of the seven laws to cover about 100 of the 613 mitzvoth.[22]: 18

How deep does this rabbit hole go?
