Katie’s Reviews > Who Shall Ascend the Mountain of the Lord?: A Biblical Theology of the Book of Leviticus (Volume 37) > Status Update

The first chapter is about the chiastic structure of the Pentateuch. Chiastic or ring structure is a form of writing where the first half mirrors the second half with the most important detail being in the middle, sort of like a butterfly. This form is found in all sorts of ancient texts. It's vital to understanding key points which don't come at the end of the text at all, but are placed directly in the center.
