List of chiasms

Some Biblical chiasms, classified by size.

Resources

• Numerous (proposed) chiasms are catalogued at https://www.chiasmusxchange.com

Multi-book chiasms

• Genesis through Exodus: David Schwartz proposes that Half the Torah is a Chiasm (the 38*2+1=77 item chart takes up the last three pages of the pdf). Notably, God making a space for us in His world (Gen 1) maps to His people making a space for Him to occupy in our world (Ex 40). Numerous links proceed inwardly from there. AlephBeta has an interview with Schwartz on this matter.
• Since Leviticus is the center of the Torah, and Leviticus itself is chiasmic (see below), some have proposed that the five books of Moses form a chiasm with Yom Kippur at the center.
• Gospel of John + Revelation: E.g. https://ancientinsights.wordpress.com/2022/01/06/the-chiasm-of-john-revelation-and-its-implications and https://preterism.org/john-revelation-project-part-two
