Dios estableció el gobierno civil justo después del Diluvio, como está registrado en el Génesis: 6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image. Genesis 9:6WEB

Después de esto, Dios debe haber revelado un detallado conjunto de estatutos (probablemente directamente a Noé y su familia). Podemos deducir esto de cuatro cosas:

  1. La simple declaración de "sangre por sangre" en Génesis 9:6 no es suficiente, en sí misma, para guiar el tipo de acción que YHWH está comandando. Considere las siguientes preguntas que Noé podría haber tenido, después de escuchar esta simple declaración:
    1. ¿Cualquier derramamiento de sangre? ¿O es la "sangre" meramente un metónimo[1] para matar?
    2. Cualquier asesinato? ¿O es legal matar en defensa propia? ¿Qué tal matar en defensa de otros?
    3. ¿Y si el "derramamiento de sangre" es accidental (la cabeza de un hacha sale volando: Deut. 19:5)? ¿Sigue existiendo la culpa de la sangre?
    4. ¿Cuáles son los procedimientos judiciales que deben seguirse al impartir la justicia retributiva de YHWH? ¿Cuántos testigos se requieren? ¿Y si los testigos mienten? ¿Cuál sería la pena civil por falso testimonio en la corte?

      Podría multiplicar las preguntas, pero entiendes el punto. Dios no sólo da órdenes ambiguas de matar en respuesta a la matanza. Él proporciona una guía adicional, y debe haberlo hecho a Noé. En las escrituras, tenemos un registro de cuatro instancias separadas en las que incluso Moisés tuvo que volver y preguntarle a YHWH directamente para aclarar la ley que le había sido dada. ¿Se espera que creamos que Noé sabría todo lo que un juez civil necesitaba saber simplemente escuchando la sentencia de YHWH en Génesis 9:6?
  2. We also have a scripture reference to the comprehensive, pre-Sinai law in God's statement about Abraham:5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” Genesis 26:5WEB
    The terms "commandments, statutes, and laws" are used together elsewhere in scripture (e.g. Deut.11:1) to denote the whole of God's law. This implies that God's detailed laws were given prior to the ones associated with the Sinai Covenant. Merely because we do not have a record of certain laws and instructions which God gave, doesn't mean that he didn't give them. We infer their existence by "good and necessary consequence."
  3. The book of Genesis contains extensive references and allusions to detailed laws covering a similar scope to the ones we find in the other four books of the Pentateuch. It implies a legal framework that encompasses (at a minimum) contract law, family law (including levirate marriage), criminal law, covenants, treaties, and judicial procedure.[2]
  4. The Apostle Paul states that "sin is not reckoned when there is no law," (Rom. 5:13). Yet sin was reckoned against many people groups in the pre-Sinai era, including Sodom and Gomorrah and the Amorites. For example, YHWH told Abraham about the sins which he was reckoning against the Amorites four-hundred years before he would judge them for their sin:16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.” Genesis 15:16WEB
    Therefore, the Amorites (and all the other peoples in the land of Canaan: Lev. 18:26-30, Deut. 18:9-14) must have had a form of God's law (including the very specific regulations itemized in Leviticus 18 and Deuteronomy 18), otherwise their sin would not have been reckoned to them (a reckoning which brought total destruction to their peoples). Wherever we see God's temporal judgment at work, we can be certain that he made his law available to those people groups. Otherwise, we would have to disagree with Paul's statement in Rom. 5:13.

Por lo tanto, antes del Sinaí debe disponerse de un conjunto de leyes detalladas, procedimientos y castigos judiciales y probatorios.
