Joma (Mishnah)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joma / יומא (Eng. "The day") is a treatise from the Mishnah in the order Mo'ed (feast days, feast days) .

The term יומא is the Aramaic word for “the day”, Hebrew היום, and denotes the day of atonement (Yom Kippur or Yom haKippurim). Accordingly, the heading in the old Mischnah manuscripts reads כפורים (מסכת).

The subject of the treatise is the day of atonement according to Lev 16. While the first seven chapters deal with the course of the cult, the preparations of the high priest and the orders for the sacrifices, the eighth chapter refers to provisions that also apply independently of the temple.

In the ancient manuscripts, the treatise is the fourth in the order Mo'ed before Sheqalim , which also has eight chapters. In the printed editions, however, the treatise has been in fifth place since it was first printed in Naples in 1492.
