Tractate of the TalmudTerumot (Template:Lang-he, lit. "Priestly dues" and often, "heave-offering") is the sixth tractate of Seder Zeraim ("Order of Seeds") of the Mishnah and of the Jerusalem Talmud. This tractate discusses the laws of teruma, a gift of produce that an Israelite farmer was required set aside and give to a Kohen.
The laws are derived from the Torah in Numbers 18:11–13 and Deut 18:1–5 and applied to grain, wine and oil. The Mishna extends the scope to include all produce. The Torah does not specify the amount of terumah that must be separated and theoretically even one single kernel of grain would suffice; thus the the Mishna in this tractate establish one-fortieth as a generous gift, one-fiftieth as an average gift, and one-sixtieth as a miserly gift.
The commandment applies only to produce grown in the Land of Israel and continue to be observed in the modern state of Israel. There is debate among Jewish legal authorities as to whether the present-day Jewish religious laws detailed in this tractate are still biblically mandated obligations or rabbinically mandated.
This tractate comprises eleven chapters in the Mishna and ten in the Tosefta and has fifty-nine folio pages of Gemara in the Jerusalem Talmud. Like most tractates in the order of Zeraim, there is no Babylonian Talmud for this tractate. Laws concerning terumah are also mentioned in the tractates "Demai" and "Ma'aserot".
