The Book of Exodus makes a single Chiastic Structure from beginning to end, which uses the Annual Torah Portions for dividers.
Just studying the linked pairs provides amazing insight! The structure for the book of Exodus makes sense if you understand why each Annual Torah portion teaches the themes it does by its paragraph divisions, strong themes, structures, and signs of Messiah, that is, by its teaching tools. The Exodus Annual Torah portions index contains links to each Torah portion, which in turn links to all the studies unpacking each parashah by the Scripture’s teaching tools.
