The 15th Chapter of Acts is traditionally interpreted by Christians as referring to Noahide law.<ref>[http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/chrnoach1.html ''Understanding Acts 15'' by Robert Clanton]</ref><ref>[http://www.haydid.org/spirit2.htm The Spirit of the Law]</ref> It bases itself on Amos 9:11-12 which says:
:9:11 In that day will I raise up the fallen tent of David, and close up the breaches thereof, and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old; 9:12 That they may conquer the remnant of Edom, and all the nations, upon whom My name is called, saith HaShem that doeth this.
The New Testament quotes the Septuagint's version of Amos which is similar, yet with some differences:
:15:16 ‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen tent of David; I will rebuild its ruins and restore it, 15:17 so that the rest of humanity may seek the Lord, namely, all the Gentiles I have called to be my own,’ says the Lord, who makes these things 15:18 known from long ago.
The wording "who makes these things known from long ago" is similarly worded to Sanhedrin 60a which says "My statutes ye shall keep, implying the statutes decreed from of old shall ye keep"
