Okay, let’s be honest. When I learned about this today in Old Testament I immediately thought of Mom. I don’t know how many of you knew about this Chiasm but I thought I would share it for my post today!
A. Birth of Jacob and Esau; Jacob gets birthright (Gen. 25)
a. Isaac and Abimelech; Conflict over land (Gen. 26)
i. Jacob flees from Esau with the Blessing (Gen. 27)
1. Jacob at Bethel—house of God (Gen. 28)
a. Jacob marries (29-21) (In Chiasm the middle is the most important part—so this is important)
2. Jacob at Penue—face of God (Gen. 32)
ii. Jacob and Esau reconcile (Gen. 33)
b. Jacob and Shechem: conflict over marriage (Gen. 34)
B. Return to Canaan and death of Isaac (Gen. 35)
