Within Talmudic literature, Jewish law is divided into the six orders of the Mishnah, which are categories by proximate subject matter: Zeraim (" Seeds ") for agricultural laws and prayer, Moed (" Festival "), for the Sabbath and the Festivals, Nashim (" Women "), dealing primarily with marriage and divorce, Nezikin (" Damages "), for civil and criminal law, Kodashim (" Holy things "), for sacrifices and the dietary laws, and Tohorot (" Purities ") for ritual purity.

The orders and their subjects are: Zeraim (" Seeds "), dealing with prayer and blessings, tithes and agricultural laws ( 11 tractates ), Moed (" Festival "), pertaining to the laws of the Sabbath and the Festivals ( 12 tractates ), Nashim (" Women "), concerning marriage and divorce, some forms of oaths and the laws of the nazirite ( 7 tractates ), Nezikin (" Damages "), dealing with civil and criminal law, the functioning of the courts and oaths ( 10 tractates ), Kodashim (" Holy things "), regarding sacrificial rites, the Temple, and the dietary laws ( 11 tractates ) and Tehorot (" Purities "), pertaining to the laws of purity and impurity, including the impurity of the dead, the laws of food purity and bodily purity ( 12 tractates ).

" Salvation " refers to Nezikin ( Damages ) because knowledge of civil law " saves " people from each other.

* Nezikin (" Damages "), dealing with civil and criminal law, the functioning of the courts and oaths ( 10 tractates )

Since it was the chief repository of " civil " law, it was simply called Massekhet Nezikin (" Tractate Damages ").

In addition to the six Orders, the Talmud contains a series of short treatises of a later date, usually printed at the end of Seder Nezikin.

The Minor Tractates are normally printed at the end of Seder Nezikin in the Talmud.

It is discussed in the Talmud in Seder Nezikin in tractates Bava Kamma and Bava Metzia.

In the edition of Lipa and Höschel Seder Nezikin is wanting ; most of the rest of the work was afterward printed at Jerusalem by J. M.

These laws are developed and expanded upon in the Mishnah and the Talmud ( particularly in Order Nezikin ).

The traditional reasoning for the order of the volumes of Nezikin is as follows: The Order begins with civil law ( the first 3 tractates ) because it is considered the cornerstone of righteousness within a Jewish state.

( The current total is 63, but Makkot was originally part of Sanhedrin, and Bava Kamma, Bava Metzia and Bava Batra may be regarded as subdivisions of a single tractate Nezikin.

Sefer ha-Halachot ( ספר ההלכות ; also referred to as " the Hilchot of the Rif ") extracts all the pertinent legal decisions from the three Talmudic orders Moed, Nashim and Nezikin as well as the tractates of Berachot and Chulin-24 tractates in all.

Another view is that, since the Hebrew term for egg matzah is matzah ashirah (, literally, " enriched matzah " or " rich matzah "), it cannot be used to fulfill the requirement of eating matzah at the Passover Seder.

Charoset, haroset, or charoses ( Hebrew: ) is a sweet, dark-colored, paste made of fruits and nuts eaten at the Passover Seder.

However, in the 2nd century CE, rabbinic work Seder Olam, which formed the basis of the era counting of the Hebrew calendar, interpreted the prophecy of seventy weeks in as referring to a period of 490 years, with " a week " being interpreted as meaning a period of seven years, that would pass between the destruction of the First and Second Temple.

One, the ABCDE order later used in Phoenician, has continued with minor changes in Hebrew, Greek, Armenian, Gothic, Cyrillic, and Latin ; the other, HMĦLQ, was used in southern Arabia and is preserved today in Ethiopic.

Abjads differ from abugidas, another category invented by Daniels, in that in abjads, the vowel sound is implied by phonology, and where vowel marks exist for the system, such as nikkud for Hebrew and harakāt for Arabic, their use is optional and not the dominant ( or literate ) form.

However, most modern abjads, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic and Avestan, are " impure " abjads, that is, they also contain symbols for some of the vowel phonemes.

Due to the near-identity of the Aramaic and the classical Hebrew alphabets, Aramaic text is mostly typeset in standard Hebrew script in scholarly literature.
