ABSTRACT
Ohalot Mishnah tractate devoted to the uncleanness that is spread by a tent located over the body of a corpse, in line with Numbers 19; centered on diverse modes of imparting uncleanness and sources of uncleanness in general (chaps. 2-3); tents as a medium for spreading corpse-uncleanliness (chaps. 3-16); sources of uncleanliness analogous to human remains (chap. 16). This tractate is complemented by the Tosefta tractate Ahilot, but not commented upon in either version of the Talmud.
