📜 200 AD – The Mishnah (Rabbinic Law Book) – Jewish

✅ What it is

The Mishnah is the first written collection of oral laws (halakhot) passed down by the Pharisaic rabbis. It was compiled by Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi around 200 AD.

✅ Why it matters

It shifted authority away from the written Torah (like the Paleo-Hebrew or Aramaic Scriptures) and replaced it with rabbinic interpretations and legal traditions.

✅ Structure

Divided into 6 orders (Sedarim), each dealing with different aspects of Jewish life
Includes laws on agriculture, festivals, marriage, civil law, temple rituals, and purity

❌ What changed

Torah obedience became Talmudic obedience
Created a new authority class of rabbis, interpreting laws without prophets or the voice of Yhwh
Later used as the foundation for the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds

⚠️ Key Problem

This was not commanded by Yhwh.

It replaced the prophetic voice with human rulings—and became a fence around the Torah that often contradicted it.

🔎 Conclusion

The Mishnah (200 AD) marks the beginning of Rabbinic Judaism—not Hebrew covenant faith. It introduced legalism without prophetic guidance, and paved the way for Talmudic tradition that often opposes the written Torah of Yhwh.
