'''Chochmei Umos HaOlam''' ('''חוכמי אומות העולם''' generally translated as "[[Mages]]" or "Wise of the Nations") is a the Maimonidian term taken from the Laws of Kings 8:11. In Judaism these are the for "Noahites" or "Noachites" also known as "Noahides". According to [[Halakhic Judaism]], as expressed in the [[Talmud]], the Noahide Laws apply to all humanity through mankind's ''spiritual '' descent from one paternal ancestor who in Hebrew tradition is called [[Noah]] (the head of the only family to survive during [[Deluge (mythology)|The Flood]]). Hence in the Oral Torah, בני נח ''[[B'nei Noah]]'' ([[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], "Descendants of Noah", "Children of Noah") refers to all the good people of mankind.
They are like [[Hagarim]] but who have taken no [[Oath Brith]] [[Tevilah]] even if they send offerings as Augustus Caesar did for example. They are called '''Muslamai''' in the Targum of Rabbi Onkelos. The Arabic scriptures refer to them as משלם.
