The Mishnah is divided into six parts, or Orders (Sedarim); each Order into Tractates (Massechtoth); each Tractate into Chapters (Perakim); each Chapter into Paragraphs (each called a Mishnah). The six Orders are as follows:
Zeraim ("Seeds"). Deals with the laws connected with Agriculture, and opens with a Tractate on Prayer ("Blessings").
Moed ("Festival"). On Festivals.
Nashim ("Women"). On the laws relating to Marriage, etc.
Nezikin ("Damages"). On civil and criminal Law.
Kodashim ("Holy Things"). On Sacrifices, etc.
Teharoth ("Purifications"). On personal and ritual Purity.
