Hebrew: נגעים, Blemishes) is the third tractate of the order of
Tohorot in the
Mishnah. It consists of fourteen chapters. Nega'im describes the various forms of
tzaraath, a

clothing, and homes. The tractate describes the different types of blemishes symptomatic of the disease, and the various rituals involved in purifying someone who has been affected by it.
