Editing Chiastic structure (section)

=== Book of Daniel ===
In 1986, [[William H. Shea]] proposed that the [[Book of Daniel]] is composed of a ''double-chiasm''. He argued that the chiastic structure is emphasized by the two languages that the book is written in: [[Aramaic]] and [[Hebrew]]. The first chiasm is written in ''Aramaic'' from chapters 2-7 following an ABC...CBA pattern. The second chiasm is in ''Hebrew'' from chapters 8–12, also using the ABC...CBA pattern. However, Shea represents {{bibleverse|Daniel|9:26|KJV}} as "D", a break in the center of the pattern.<ref name="Shea">{{harvnb|Shea|1986|p=}}{{page needed|date=July 2014}}</ref>
