==Further Study==
Rabbi Lichtenstein suggests that further study center of the structure, not substance, of Noahide Law is needed at this timeLichtenste . Firstly, he points out, we are left wondering about the meaning of the "seven" in the Laws of Noah. Was it a matter of chance or was it meant to represent the Seven of Significance and Completion, rooted in the seven days of Genesis? Subsequent biblical literature contains hundreds of examples of this number of significance and completion, found throughout the Torah (e.g., the seven weeks of Shavuoth in Deuteronomy 15:9), the Prophets (e.g., the seven priests with seven horns making seven circuits around Jericho, of Joshua 6:4), and the Writings (e.g., the seven periods of Daniel 9:25). Rabbi Lichtenstein says if further study were to demonstrate that the latter meaningful number was intended, we would want to re-think our perception of Noahism in the light of this concept, since the result could well forge a solid link between Noahism and the pattern of biblical thought. \n
Further, Near Eastern texts, too, show over a hundred examples of the Seven of Significance and Completion, ranging in probable date of composition from Patriarchal times to the Flood epoch, with over a dozen samples in the Gilgamesh materials alone.<ref>James Pritchard, Ancient Near Eastern Texts. 2nd edition (1955) pages 48-49: the seven heroes sons of one mother, finished off the seventh, crossing the seventh mountain. Pages 72-92: six days and seven nights Enkidu came, seven pits and seven, seven years of barren husks, the forsaken wife though a mother of seven, seventh day he set free a dove, the seventh day he awoke, the seven Wise Ones laid Uruk's foundation.</ref> On this basis, one may attempt again to project the Laws of Noahl Fagainst a contemporaneous background around the Biblica lood and Mesopotamian Deluge by way of test, the initial such attempt by Philip Biberfeld having been criticized in our introductory chapter. Particular attention might be given to a citation such as the purported Prayer of Enheduanna (daughter of Sargon the Great, c. 2250 BC) which begins: "Queen of all the me (rules) ... who grasps in hand the seven me. " These me rules are understood by Sumerologists as being divine norms, duties, and powers assigned at Creation - a concept basic to the ancient world with a range from the dharma (laws) of the Upanishads to the divine Tablet of Destinies of early Assyria.<ref>Pritchard, op. cit., 3rd edition (1969) pages 579-582, 514-517, 112-113. Perhaps also "the seven ordinances" (me) of the so called Manna's Descent to the Nether World, pages 53-57 (second edition). On dhar"M see Note 12 above.</ref> What historical relationship, if any, might be found between the Seven Laws and these seven rules? == 13 Things You Should Do To Live Life Without Regrets ==
==What distinguishes these Law at their very core?==A study that was performed on elderly individuals a few years back, has shown that during old age, there are many people who regret the things they didnt have the courage to do as opposed to only a few who had regrets about the things theyve done.
Rabbi Lichtenstein ends his work by noting that he had taken note earlier that the Talmud in Sanhedrin 58b, attests to the singular feature in its codification of Noahide law whereby the statutes are organized around a number of negative imperatives. This peculiarity may well be the distinctive mark setting off the structure of Noahide law from Israelite jurisprudence [[http://goodvillenews.<ref>See previous note and the related paragraphs of the text, above.<com/ref> He says that a study geared to exploit this distinctive structural arrangement could uncover what it is that distinguishes the Laws of Noah from the Laws of Moses at their very core13-Things-You-Should-Do-To-Live-Life-Without-Regrets-DyXsux. html 13 Things You Should Do To Live Life Without Regrets]]
