This article refers to the Mekhita de-Rabbi Ishmael. There is a separate article on the Mekhilta de-Rabbi Shimon Mekhilta or Mekilta (Hebrew: מכילתא) is the halakic midrash to the Book of Exodus. The name "Mekhilta", which corresponds to the Hebrew "middah" (= "measure," "rule"), was given to this midrash because the Scriptural comments and explanations of the Law which it contains are based on fixed rules of Scriptural exegesis ("middot"; comp. Talmudical Hermeneutics). The halakic midrashim are in general called "middot," in contrast to the "halakot," or formulated laws; and an interpreter of the Midrash was termed "bar mekilan" = "a man of the rules" (Lev. R. iii.).
