Scripture is a bit fuzzy on the details of these early laws before the law of Moses, but all people are created in the image of God and are obligated to obedience. Even before the Mosaic law was given, all people, to some degree, knew the law later inscribed in the Ten Commandments. Such laws were, at the least, inscribed on the conscience of all those created in the image of God,19 though true worshipers of God may well have had a clearer apprehension of God’s requirements.
