Gordon Wenham's Noah Chiasm



You can see above the highly ordered structure of the Noah story demonstrated by the chiastic arrangement.  Source critics typically assign this passage to J and P and note the passage switching back and forth between the two sources 24 times.  It seems more likely, given the chiastic structure, that there is a single, coherent design behind the Noah story.
