List of chiasms

Some Biblical chiasms, classified by size.

Multi-book chiasms[edit | edit source]

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, again 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
