2 The Structured Torah
Keys to Reading
The Structured Torah
This page is intended as a simple guide to the special layout and marking of the text of the Torah in this file. For an in-depth understanding of
how and why the Torah has been divided and arranged the way it appears here, see the various articles on chaver.com.
Color Coding
The color coding is used primarily to indicate linguistic hooks between parts of the Unit. However they also point to more substantive
connections and should be utilized to gain an appreciation of the Unit as a literary construct.
Direct parallels between all segments of a horizontal thread are highlighted by this color. This often points to the common theme of the thread.
There is another set of highlights sometimes used within a three-part thread. To understand this highlight, it is necessary to keep in mind that
the Torah was designed as a visual document, containing visual logic, rather than oral/aural logic. This distinction is expressed in the order of
elements in a triad. In speech, the synthetic middle comes last: thesis, antithesis, and finally synthesis. It is necessary to present the poles first
in order to grasp the middle as a synthesis. The is not the case in a visual presentation, like the Torah. The conceptual middle is in the middle.
This rule applies to more than just the parts of a three-part thread. It also applies the threads themselves. A thread which is positioned between
two other threads should be read as a conceptual middle between them. Here are the colors which point to the linguistic pattern that is
sometimes employed in a three part row to note the linguistic middle. Key words in the first and second segments are marked by this color.
Key words in the second and third segments are marked by this color. The result is that the middle segment will have words marked with both
colors.
Sometimes this highlight is used to indicate a repeating word or phrase within a segment which has led to subdividing the segment.
The layout of the text in two-dimensional format leads to the identification of linguistic and substantial links between segments in the same
warp thread (column). Such parallels are marked with this color.
There are two types of highlighting employed to mark linguistic indicators of the boundaries of a Unit, closure and chiasm. Closure between
the first weft thread and the last is marked by this color. Two colors are employed to mark a chiasm. This color indicates the half chiasm
created by the connection between the upper left segment and the lower right segment. This color indicates the connection between the upper
right and lower left half of the chiasm.
