KnoWhy #352 - What Can We Learn from 10 of the Best Chiasms in the Book of Mormon? - Part 2

Mosiah 3:18–19 is statistically one of its strongest chiasms, as well as one of the longest chiasms in King Benjamin’s speech, and is the center of the speech.

Alma 41:13–15 is an unusual example, in which Alma explained the principle of “restoration” in the next life by first laying out four paired terms which he then repeated in reverse order twice.

Helaman 6:7–13 is another one of the four statistically strongest chiasms in the Book of Mormon, and reports on an entire year of Nephite history.

Alma 29:1–7 uses the threefold repetition of an a-b-c pattern, creating a unique A-B-C-C-C-B-A outline for the overall structure, instead of the expected A-B-C-C-B-A structure, similar to chiasms found in Mesoamerica.
