Bava Batra is the third of the three tractates in the
Talmud in the order
Nezikin; it deals with a person's responsibilities and rights as the owner of property. It is part of Judaism's
oral law.This "massekta" (treatise) is not, like
Bava Kamma and
Bava Metzia, the exposition of a certain passage in the
Torah. It is divided into ten chapters, the contents of which may be described as follows: (1) Regulations relating to property held by more than one owner (ch. i.); (2) responsibilities of an owner of property with regard to that of his neighbor (ch. ii.); (3) established rights of ownership and rights connected with property (ch. iii.); (4) laws referring to the acquisition of property by purchase (ch. iv.-vii.); (5) laws of inheritance (ch. viii.-ix.); (6) laws concerning documents (ch. x.).
