>From <http://www.jlaw.com/Articles/noach2.html>, footnote 53:
> Rabbi Yosef Engel, Beit Otzar Marechet 1-1: '7, 9. "The seven Noachide

>commandments are still obligatory to Jews, and their authority derives

>from their pre-Sinai obligation. The Torah... merely added to  Noachide

>laws..."

This footnote is on an interesting statement of the Meshekh Chokhmah
that a child who is a bar da'as WRT the 7 mitzvos must keep them, since
legabai the 7 mitzvos, there is no din of bar mitzvah -- it begins with
comprehension. And the Seridei Eish speaks of Noachide Marriage when a
couple wedded in a manner pasul for a Jewish one.

The subject relates also to the connection between when they were given,
where in the Torah they're recorded, and the nature of the chiyuv. See
footnote 28.

If this literally mean " merely added to  Noachide laws..." -  why would
we need the concept of there is nothing forbidden to Non-jews is
permitted to jews?
