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

 and posit a settlement/conquest of Northern Transjordan by peoples close
 to the Arameans ethnically and linguistically - amd derive evidence 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)?
