    The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions known as the Oral Torah. It was redacted by Judah ha-Nasi in the 3rd century CE to prevent the oral traditions of the Pharisees from being forgotten. It consists of six orders containing 63 tractates in total, which are further divided into chapters and paragraphs. The Mishnah forms the basis for the Gemara and together they make up the Talmud, the central text of Rabbinic Judaism.

    The Mishnah or the Mishna (/ˈmɪʃnə/; Hebrew: ‫מִ שְׁ נָה‬, "study by repetition", from the
    verb shanah ‫שנה‬, or "to study and review", also "secondary")[1] is the first major written
    collection of the Jewish oral traditions which is known as the Oral Torah. It is also the
    first major work of rabbinic literature.[2][3] The Mishnah was redacted by Judah ha-Nasi at
    the beginning of the 3rd century CE[4] in a time when, according to the Talmud,
    the persecution of the Jews and the passage of time raised the possibility that the
    details of the oral traditions of the Pharisees from the Second Temple period (536 BCE
    – 70 CE) would be forgotten. Most of the Mishnah is written in Mishnaic Hebrew, but
    some parts are in Aramaic.
    The Mishnah consists of six orders (sedarim, singular seder ‫)סדר‬, each containing 7–12
    tractates (masechtot, singular masechet ‫ ;מסכת‬lit. "web"), 63 in total, and further
    subdivided into chapters and paragraphs. The word Mishnah can also indicate a single
    paragraph of the work, i.e. the smallest unit of structure in the Mishnah. For this reason
    the whole work is sometimes referred to in the plural form, Mishnayot.

    The term "Mishnah" originally referred to a method of teaching by presenting topics in a


    systematic order, as contrasted with Midrash, which followed the order of the Bible. As a
    written compilation, the order of the Mishnah is by subject matter and includes a much
    broader selection of halakhic subjects, and discusses individual subjects more
    thoroughly, than the Midrash.
    The Mishnah consists of six orders (sedarim, singular seder ‫)סדר‬, each containing 7–12
    tractates (masechtot, singular masechet ‫ ;מסכת‬lit. "web"), 63 in total. Each masechet is
    divided into chapters (peraqim, singular pereq) and then paragraphs (mishnayot,
    singular mishnah). In this last context, the word mishnah means a single paragraph of th
