| − | ''Chasidei Umos HaOlam'' is the hebrew term used by Maimonides in the Laws of Kings 8:11. It is generally translated as "Righteous Gentile" or more recently "Observant Noahide". It indicates a non-Jew who has taken upon himself the observance of [[Noahide Law]], and does this ''because it was revealed through [[Moshe Rabbenu]]'' as explained by Jewish tradition. According to Maimonides, Chasidei Umos HaOlam are assured a portion in the world to come. This is something that is not assured for the ''[[Chochmei Umos HaOlam]]'' who observe [[Noahide Law]], but do it for their own rational reasons.
