<td valign="top" width="50%">'''10''' ''[[Moshe Rabbenu]]'' did not leave the Torah and commandments except as the property of Israel, as it is written: "an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob" (Deuteronomy 33:4), and anyone who wants to may convert from the other nations, as it is written "you are as the convert" (Numbers 15:15). Anyone who does not wish to -- he is not forced to accept the Torah and commandments, instead ''Moshe Rabbenu'' commanded, at the word of the Almighty, to force the entire world to accept the commandments which were commanded to the ''[[Bnei Noah]]''. Anyone who will not accept, receives capital punishment. One who accepts these [basic laws] is called: ''[[Ger Toshav]]'' in every place, and he must be accepted in front of three judges. And 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].

He accepts them and performs them because they were commanded by the ''[[Kodosh Baruch Hu]]'', [He believes that it was] revealed to us by the hand of Moshe Rabbenu that the ''[[Bnei Noah ]]'' were previously commanded in these things. However, if he keeps these [laws] because of intellectual decision -- he is not called a ''Ger Toshav'' and is not of the ''[[Chasidei Umos HaOlam]]'', and is not [alternatively: he is] one of their [[Chochmei Umos HaOlam|wise men]].</td>
