Masechet Zavim is the ninth tractate in the Order of Taharot and has only Mishnah and Tosefta.
The tractate discusses and details the laws of tumah (ritual impurity) of a zav and zavah (male and female with certain bodily discharges).
Chapters of the Tractate[edit | edit source]
- HaRoeh - The duration of the "discharge" that defines a person as a zav.
- HaKol Metamim - The types of people who can be considered zavim if they experience a discharge. The ways in which a zav makes objects impure by leaning on them.
- HaZav - The ways in which a zav makes objects impure by moving them, even without touching them.
- Rabbi Yehoshua - Continuation of the discussion from the previous chapter.
- HaNogea - A concise summary of the fundamentals of the entire Order of Taharot: the primary sources of impurity, the ways in which they transmit impurity, and the chain of impurity that each one is capable of transmitting.
