Did Humanity Have Laws Before the Law Given to Mosheh?
How the Heavenly Tablets Reveal a Truth Hidden Since Babel
For generations we have been taught that humanity lived without law until Mosheh received the Torah at Mount Sinai. Tradition tells us that before the Exodus, mankind wandered in moral chaos—without commandments, statutes, or divine instruction.
But is that truly what the Scriptures teach?
When we examine Berēshith (Genesis), the Book of Jubilees, and the restored Scriptures, a very different story emerges—one that aligns perfectly with the revelations presented in my book:
The Origin of Evil – Biblical Truths Hidden in Plain Sight
The more we uncover, the clearer it becomes:
Humanity has NEVER existed without the Law of Yahuah.
The real question is not whether humanity had laws…
but whether humanity remembered them.
This article lays the foundation for understanding one of the key truths revealed in the book:
Evil entered through corruption and rebellion—not through the absence of divine law.
The Law of Yahuah Was Written Before Creation
A truth almost completely erased from modern teaching is this:
The Torah existed before Adam, before angels, before the foundations of the earth.
The Heavenly Tablets—a concept found throughout the Book of Jubilees—contain:
- commandments
- statutes
- judgments
- appointed times
- laws of righteousness
- the order of creation
- and the destiny of humanity
These laws were written before the world was created and cannot be altered.
Jubilees 3:31
“All the commandments were written on the heavenly tablets…”
Jubilees 6:17
“These laws and ordinances… written on the heavenly tablets.”
This eternal law is the same law later revealed to Adam, Noah, Abraham, and finally Mosheh.
This is why the book The Origin of Evil begins by restoring the ancient framework:
evil came from rebellion, but law came from heaven.
Adam Received Commandments from the Beginning
Humanity’s story does not begin in lawlessness.
Berēshith (Genesis) reveals:
Genesis 2:16–17
“And Yahuah Elohiym commanded the man…”
Adam was given Torah from the start—divine instruction written in the Heavenly Tablets.
This commandment predates sin, and therefore predates the assumption that “law came because of transgression.”
Contrary to tradition, Adam did not fall because he lacked law—but because he disobeyed the Law already given.
This truth is vital in understanding the deeper teaching found in the book:
the origin of evil is not the giving of law, but the rejection of it.
Yahuah Taught Adam Before Sending Him Out of Eden
Before Adam left the garden, Yahuah taught him:
- how to cultivate the land
- how to survive
- how to walk in righteousness and discernment
Adam “knew good and evil,” not because he became wicked, but because he received discernment, like the messengers of Yahuah.
Adam gained knowledge, not corruption. The corruption came later—through the Watchers and the Nephilim.
The Watchers Taught the Law—But Did Not Invent It
Around the 500th year of humanity, Yahuah sent the Watcher messengers to:
- teach the Law of Yahuah
- establish justice
- guide the nations
But they were not teaching something new.
They were teaching what was already written on the Heavenly Tablets.
This detail is central to the narrative explored in The Origin of Evil, where the Watchers eventually rebel and corrupt humanity—not by teaching the law, but by teaching forbidden knowledge.
The Patriarchs Kept the Law Long Before Sinai
One of the strongest proofs that the law predates Mosheh is found in Scripture itself:
Berēshith (Genesis) 26:5
“Because Abraham obeyed My voice, kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
How could Abraham keep these if they didn’t exist?
Because they existed from the beginning.
This is why:
- Noach knew clean vs. unclean
- Cain and Abel offered sacrifices
- Enoch walked with Yahuah
- Jacob vowed vows
- Shem taught righteousness
All of them followed the eternal law—the same law exposed and clarified in this book.
Mosheh Saw the Heavenly Tablets
When Mosheh ascended Sinai, he did not receive a “brand-new law.”
Jubilees 32:21
“The law and the commandment were written for him on the heavenly tablets.”
The Torah given to Yasharel was a restoration of the law preserved from:
- Adam
- Noah
- Abraham
- Isaac
- Jacob
This book explains why this restoration was necessary: because Babel and the Nephilim had almost erased the divine order from humanity.
The Mosaic Law Was a Reintroduction, Not a New Creation
Yasharel had been enslaved for centuries.
They:
- lost the knowledge of Yahuah
- absorbed Egyptian customs
- followed Nephilim traditions
- forgot the Heavenly Law
Therefore Yahuah restored the law through Mosheh:
- the same commandments given to Adam
- the same laws kept by Noah
- the same statutes obeyed by Abraham
The world didn’t fall because humans lacked law—but because they abandoned the law written in heaven.
Humanity Has Never Existed Without Law
The Scriptures and Jubilees reveal the full picture:
- The Law existed before creation.
- It was written on the Heavenly Tablets.
- Adam received commandments.
- The Watchers taught the law.
- Patriarchs lived by the law.
- Mosheh saw the heavenly tablets.
- The Torah is eternal.
The only thing that changed was human memory, not Yahuah’s law.
This is why the message in The Origin of Evil – Biblical Truths Hidden in Plain Sight is so crucial:
We cannot understand evil until we understand the original law.
We cannot understand corruption until we understand purity.
We cannot understand the end until we return to the beginning.
This book is not just commentary—it is a restoration of the truth written from the first day of creation.
