AB - This paper introduces narrative methodology and Old Testament narrative criticism, and deals with the practical application of the text through Genesis 47:27 to 50:26. The three paragraphs (47:27-48:22, 49:1-33, 50:1-26) that appear in the final Patriarchal narrative of Genesis are omnibus-style and present a connected theme of ‘reversal’. This constitutes a phrase from Genesis 37-38, and shows the appearance of a thematic symmetry structure in the Jacob family narrative (Gen. 37:2 to 50:26). In particular, the three reversals in Genesis 47:27 to 50:26 are centered on the father Jacob, consisting of an Uneven Chiasmus, a Linear Schemes, and an Uneven Chiamus (a–b–a′) respectively, and it can be seen that this theme has been gradually strengthened. The storytelling in this part can be understood as the dimensions of the implicit and foreshadowing character of the events that will occur to the Israelites in the future, and these three reversals can be viewed anew from the broad perspective of the Primary Narrative (Gen.~2Kgs).
