The Book of Mormon's account of Abinadi confronting King Noah's priests isn't just dramatic narrative—it's a masterfully inverted chiasm of Exodus 32-34's Golden Calf crisis chiasm. Both texts use chiastic structure. But where Moses ascends from idolatry to divine presence to protect God’s people from death, God’s chosen prophet Abinadi descends from divine presence to death at the hands of covenant breaking idolaters.
