I understand that you are bringing this up following my words that nothing can be learned from the Bible.
But in my opinion, there is no obstacle to learning halakha from the Bible. After all, even the prohibition of meat, dairy, and pork is learned from the Bible. My argument is that learning non-halakhic values or principles (even historical ones, in many cases) cannot be done from there.
As for the actual teaching, I’m not sure we can learn from that that it was permissible for the sons of Noah. After all, God commanded them not to work in partnership. What they were not punished for is that they were coerced because they truly believed in partnership (see my next message).

I'm just saying that the discussion of whether Gentiles are warned about associating is strange to me. After all, associating is not correct (there is no other God together with the Almighty). So Gentiles are allowed to make mistakes? And we are not allowed to make mistakes? There is no prohibition on making mistakes. Only if it is about working in associating and not about believing in associating can I perhaps understand the prohibition. The belief in associating depends on a question of truth and falsehood and not of what is permitted or prohibited, but working for two gods in associating is prohibited. Of course, if he truly believes in associating, then he is forced, and if he does not believe and works only because of his evil nature, then perhaps there is a prohibition on that. And indeed, in the chapter there, it is really about actual work.
