Mishnahin

Mishnahin is not a standard or widely recognized title for a single Jewish text. In most discussions, the core work is called the Mishnah, and its plural form is usually rendered as Mishnayot in Hebrew. The form “Mishnahin” may appear as a transliteration variant or in nonstandard spellings, but it does not denote a distinct, widely cited corpus in mainstream Jewish scholarship.

If the term is encountered, it often reflects language-specific pluralization or a nonstandard rendering rather than a separate collection. In standard reference works, the Mishnah is treated as a single codified compilation of oral laws, transmitted and organized with a formal structure rather than a separate set called Mishnahin.

The Mishnah itself is a foundational text of Rabbinic Judaism, compiled around 200 CE by Rabbi Judah haNasi. It records concise legal rulings, interpretations, and debates that were transmitted orally. The work is divided into six orders: Zeraim (Seeds), Moed (Festivals), Nashim (Women), Nezikin (Damages), Kodashim (Holy Things), and Tehorot (Purities). Each order contains tractates that study specific topics and laws, often presenting differing opinions that later Rabbinic authorities weighed in on in the Gemara, which, together with the Mishnah, forms the Talmud.

In modern scholarship, Mishnah is studied as the primary foundation of Jewish oral law, with its interpretations extended by the Talmud and later rabbinic literature. The term Mishnahin does not denote a separate, widely recognized text and is typically treated as a nonstandard or misrendered form of Mishnah/Mishnayot.
