The Seven Laws

The Seven Laws of Noah also referred to as the
Noahide Laws or the Noachide Laws (from the
Hebrew pronunciation of "Noah"), are a set of
imperatives which, according to the Talmud,
were given by God as a binding set of laws for
the "children of Noah" – that is, all of humanity.
The seven Noahide laws as traditionally
enumerated are the following:

1. Not to worship idols.
2. Not to curse God.
3. To establish courts of justice.
4. Not to commit murder.
5. Not to steal.
6. Not to eat flesh torn from a living animal.
7. Not to commit adultery, incest, etc.

I would like to express a few thanks...

• First of all – to God, and of course King David
who wrote the Book of Psalms.

• I would like to thank Shirit Cohen for her endless
patience, advice and for the beautiful design of
this book.

• To Bonita Podlashuk for helping with all the
translations.

• To Nadav Sultanik for all his help and support
along the way.

• To David Shalom for his clear reading on
youtube.

• To Yohay Ben Avi for his help with the recording.
• To my beloved family – my mother, my husband

and children, for believing in this project, and
being very patient over the past few months,
and for helping with all the proofreading.
• And all the others who have helped along the
way.
• I could not have done it without you.

We believe God created the world by speaking
in the Hebrew language. In the book of
Genesis chapter 1, "God said, let there be light,
and there was light" etc. From this chapter we
learn that the most powerful strength is "the
power of speech." It can create worlds and
change realities.
There is no argument about the power of the
Psalms. Saying Psalms can bring salvation
for illness, bring sustenance, and abundance
in every area.
There is a big advantage in saying Psalms
aloud in the language they were written
in: Hebrew. Today, people who do not know
the language can recite Psalms in Hebrew
thanks to the transliteration, even without
understanding what they are saying.
By saying Psalms in Hebrew, the prospects of
salvation by God and for praising Him in the
correct way increase.
