Chiasmus Mosiah 5:10-12

Here's a perfect example of Hebraism found in some short verses in the Book of Mormon. On of the ways of Hebrew style of Writings that use to denotes something on its purpose.

This was actually my personal study and hope you like some of it. To begin -

Chiasmus (Inverted Parallelism) in Mosiah 5:10-12

10 And now it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall not take upon him the name of Christ must be called by some other name; therefore, he findeth himself on the left hand of God.

11 And I would that ye should remember also, that this is the name that I said I should give unto you that never should be blotted out, except it be through transgression; therefore, take heed that ye do not transgress, that the name be not blotted out of your hearts.

12 I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of God, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you.

See the pattern below, I remove the other text and replaced it with (...) for easy viewing.
...
{ the name } ...
  { be called } ...
    { left hand of God } ...
      { remember } ...
        { blotted out } ...
           { transgression } ...
           { transgress } ...
        { blotted out } ...
      { remember } ...
    { left hand of God } ...
  { be called } ...
{ the name } ...

The Colored fonts was the purpose of the message of the verses, the other words where a guide that leads directly to the main point.

Find out more and I'll add some of it here in this blog.

Thank you for visiting my blog and have a great day.
