Detailed
Description
   The Tosefta is essentially a collection of beraitot arranged according to the order of the Mishnah. It is divided into the same six orders, and each order into the same tractates, with each tractate divided into chapters and these into individual halakhot. With few exceptions, each tractate of the Mishnah has its parallel in the Tosefta. However, the Tosefta is about four times larger than the Mishnah. The relationship of the Tosefta to the Mishnah may be described as follows. It contains
(a) beraitot which are completely parallel to the halakhot of the Mishnah;
(b) beraitot parallel to the halakhot of the Mishnah but differing somewhat in style or terminology;
(c) beraitot which are totally dependent upon the halakhot of the Mishnah but add new material;
(d) beraitot containing new material related to the material discussed in the halakhot of the Mishnah;
(e) beraitot containing completely new material covering subjects and topics which are not discussed in the Mishnah at all, or are merely referred to indirectly.

Some tractates or parts of tractates of the Tosefta are largely dependent on the Mishnah (e.g., Yoma, except its last chapter), whereas others seem to be almost completely independent of it. Indeed in many cases the sequence and the arrangement of the material in the Tosefta throw light upon what appears to be the original sequence of certain halakhot of the Mishnah, that is not preserved in its final edition. Like the Mishnah, the Tosefta is essentially a collection of halakhot, and contains several aggadot (to a somewhat greater extent than the Mishnah). Like the Mishnah, the Tosefta is written in Mishnaic Hebrew, with very little Aramaic, but it contains several Greek words.
