A Lesser Reward Offered

View Mode

Passage Content

He stood and shook the earth. He beheld.
What did He see? He saw the 7 mitzvos that the descendants
of Noah accepted upon themselves and did not fulfill,
so He arose and permitted their prohibitions to them.
Did they thereby profit, in that their prohibitions
became permitted to them? If so, we have found
a transgressor who is rewarded.
This is not to say that for them to transgress
their mitzvos is no longer a sin.
Rather, it is to say that even if they fulfill them,
they do not receive reward for fulfilling them.
