The title to this blog is itself a chiasmus:
A Biblical B Chiasmus: C Exploring B’ Reverse Parallelism A’ in the Bible
The center of a chiasmus often contains something special or important. In the case of this title, I rather like it’s chiastic center: exploring. I hope to make that the emphasis of this blog. Exploring Biblical chiasmus!
I love the art involved in Biblical chiasmi!

Dear LJHooge,
I orchestrated a conference in Sept of 2010 to demonstrate that chiasmus can be found in all things, i.e., the human body, the architecture of the temple, nature, music, as well as other places not necessarily focused on that are fraught with chiasms.
Greetings!
I have looked at your blog some time ago when we were just beginning to use chiastic study. I appreciated your insights then. Now we have found chiastic structure all through Scripture – as you know so well. Just wondering about sharing the chiastic structure we found in Numbers – in the parasha on Korach. We also saw the connection with the cursing and the ground that seems to us to be another confirmation of the Messianic picture in the ground being cursed “for Adam’s sake” and since he was created from the ground, it is like a “kinsman-redeemer” picture. Also see connection in Revelation when the ground opens and helps the woman…
Thank you for checking the blog out. I would love to see some of your chiasmi. I’ll e-mail you shortly. Take care,
