I could make a case for the Transjordan Conquest traditions being from

the language of the Deir Alla Inscription. This immigration/conquest
would be a another wave in the same line as the Moabites and Ammonites
(who are descedndants of Lot, Abraham's kinsman, and also from Upper
Mesopotamia. >>

Or why not consider both the Jacob/Aram traditions and the Exodus/Conquest
traditions as being mythologizations of the Return-from-Exile (Is 40)?
