But the older ideal was nevertheless a great one.

That man's life is a unity; that his conduct is in all its parts within the sphere of ethics and religion; that his mind and conscience are not independent, but two sides of the same thing; and that therefore his religious, ethical, aesthetic, and intellectual literature is one and indivisible,--this was a noble conception which, with all its weakness, had distinct points of superiority over the modern view.
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").
