The median point may be used to identify a leading or main idea and generally contains the most important part of the structure because it is the emphasis of the passage. Because of the symmetrical structure, any break within the pattern, in this case the middle point, is distinguishable along the writing and holds implications of a deeper meaning. The chiastic structure of the narrative of Joseph in Genesis, chapters 37 to 50, shows a parallel storyline that peaks at an idea that is not explicitly said but instead revealed, that God is faithful in his promise to Abraham's descendants by continuing to fulfill this promise through Joseph and his story. Throughout Genesis 37-50, the story of Joseph is unfolded.…
