:One who accepts these [basic laws] is called: ''[[Ger Toshav]]'' in every place, and he must accept [these laws] on himself in front of three judges. And But all who have taken upon themselves to circumcise, and twelve months have past without circumcision – this person becomes like other nations [who have not accepted the Noahide laws].<ref>Mishne Torah: Laws of Kings 8:10</ref>
A translation of Maimonides may be found [[Maimonides' Law of Noahides#Laws of Kings and their Wars' Chapter 8|here]]. (Please remember when reading other laws of Maimonides that he is only one authority, and other great Rabbis have given their opinions. Not all of Maimonides opinions have been accepted as the final opinion of Jewish Law (''halacha'').
One must remember that unlike 'conversion' to Christianity or Islam, the Noahide declaration is not a conversion process — It is not marked with some right of passage, nor with some interrogation of proper dogma or belief — rather it is a declaration of intent to uphold the seven laws and their details, to become part of the jurisdiction of his/her nation's Noahide courts, and acceptance of the authority of Rabbinic tradition in these matters.
The wording used in various Noahide pledges differs greatly, for example the [[Jerusalem Court for Bnei Noah]] at one time used a declaration similar to this declaration:
:"I pledge my allegiance to HaShem, G-d of Israel, Creator and King of the Universe, to His Torah and its representatives, the developing Sanhedrinthis rabbinical court. I hereby pledge to uphold the Seven Laws of Noah in all their details, according to Oral Law of Moses under the guidance of the developing Sanhedrinthis rabbinical court. May HaShem bless and aid me, and all B'nai Noach in all our endeavors for the sake of His name. Blessed are You G-d, King of the universe, who has caused me to live, sustained me, and brought me to this day."<ref>This should be replaced with The rabbinical court referred to at the time was the Jerusalem Court's actual wordingdeveloping Sanhedrin</ref>
