text: The Talmud (literally, “study”) is the textual record of centuries of rabbinic debates about law, philosophy, theology, biblical interpretation, and how to fulfill the Torah’s commandments. The contents of both the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds are structured as commentary (gemara) on the first codification of Jewish law, the Mishnah. While the Jerusalem Talmud took its final form by 400 CE, the Babylonian Talmud continued to develop into the seventh century. The Talmud — though no longer transmitted orally — is the central text of the Oral Law.
