An overview of the content of chapters is as follows:
- Chapter 1 (Hebrew: בֵּיצָה, romanized: Beitzah, lit. 'Egg') has ten mishnayot. The main theme of this chapter is the law of muktzeh, which is "a thing laid aside" and that cannot be used at the present time. There is a difference of opinion between the schools of Shammai and Hillel as to the force of the law of muktzeh, specifically the application of the carrying prohibition to holy days. [1]

- Chapter 3 (Hebrew: אֵין צָדִין, romanized: Ein Tzadin) has eight mishnayot.
- Chapter 4 (Hebrew: הַמֵּבִיא, romanized: Hamevi) has seven mishnayot.
- Chapter 5 (Hebrew: מַשִּׁילִין, romanized: Mashelin) has seven mishnayot.
