>Not only the 7 mitzvos benei Noach, but even the other 606, are subject to judgment.
I have wondered about this. All the mitzvot b'nei Noach are of course incumbent on Jews. It would thus seem that there are 606 *additional* mitzvot Jews have that BN do not. However, I have seen sources (which I can't quote precisely now), that there are a total of 620 mitzvot, 613 for Jews and 7 for BN (I think that there are 620 words in the aseret hadibrot). Intuitvely, RMB's formulation seems more sensible. Can anyone support and explain the alternate formulation?
