Chronological and Thematic Order
Exegetical Approaches
Literary Concerns
Tanakh often sacrifices chronological order for literary reasons, preferring thematic order over strict chronology. Rather than switching off between two stories just so as to adhere to a historical timeline, Tanakh will often prefer to finish one narrative unit before moving to another. At times, the displaced unit is secondary to the main narrative, while at other times both the chronological and achronological components might be of equal import.
