The thesis of this present study is that this
central narrative also has a chiasm which extends over the entire three
chapters. This interpretation does not compete with the individual chiasms in
chapters 12, 13, and 14, for they are part of the wheels within the wheel. This
does mean, however, that there is a relatively intricate series of literary
relationships within this passage and in the entire book which only increases
one´s appreciation for the inspired artistry of the book.
