Mekhilta
Mekhilta (Hebrew: middah) is a rule[clarification needed] of scriptural exegesis in Judaism, attributed to or written by any of several authors. The Mekhilta include:
- The Mekhilta of Rabbi Ishmael (Mekhilta on the Book of Exodus)
- The Mekhilta of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai (Mekhilta on the Book of Exodus)
- The Mekhilta le-Sefer Devarim (Mekhilta on the Book of Deuteronomy)
When a mekhilta is seen as binding, it is described as a midrash halakha.
