'''Masechet Meilah''' is the eighth tractate in Seder Kodashim, the fifth order of the Mishnah. It contains six chapters which deal with the detailed laws of meilah (meaning benefiting from consecrated property). The sixth chapter discusses the laws of agency in meilah (a person who sends another person to perform an act of deriving benefit from consecrated property) and the unique aspects of agency in this area compared to other laws of agency in halacha, in that it deviates from the principle "ein shaliach l'dvar aveirah" (there is no agency for sinful acts), and holds the sender liable while exempting the agent (as long as the agent does not deviate from the sender's instructions). In the Babylonian Talmud, this tractate has 21 pages. | '''Masechet Meilah''' is the eighth tractate in Seder Kodashim, the fifth order of the Mishnah.
