They where predated by the Six Laws of Adam, a list including all but one of the Noahide Laws, which where given by God to Adam which where binding upon Adam's progenay. Later at the Revelation at Sinai the Seven Laws of Noah where succeeded by the Ten Commandments or the Torah.

They are listed in the Talmud and elaborated on by post-Talmudic authorities. Opinions differ on the reach of these commandments and the laws derived from them, but all contemporary authorities agree that there are seven commandments. These commandments and laws are based on oral traditions as well as scriptural exegesis of Genesis 2:16 and 9:4-6.
