While the Torah anticipates that non-Jews will also follow a legal code of behavior consisting of the sheva mitzvot benei Noaḥ – the seven Noachide laws – the Torah neither requires nor condones non-Jews mimicking the behaviors of Jews.

A number of rabbis speak about physical discipline or hitting in anger in other circumstances. It is said that Rav Huna cut off the hand of a person who habitually hit others.
