  For an opposing position one may consult J.C. De Moor  The Rise of Yahwism, 
 and especially the aptly titled chapter  3.: " The Crisis of Polytheism";
   or  W. Propp's article in Ugarit Forschung 31;
   or,briefly, in Kitchen's recent On The Reliability of the OT, pp. 330-332.
  I think their views deserve serious consideration and, in fact a  
re-examination of the subject which is exactly what Propp has done in his 
paper (shades of Kaufmann and Albright and even Freud!)

question is, what influence did the short lived "Amarna Revolution" have on
the eventual development of monotheism in Israel/Judah. My position would

Why not follow the Masoretic pointing and pause after yippolu? That 
would make it something like, "Because if they fall, one can pick up his 
companion." Granted, if they both fall, neither one is already standing 
to pick up the other, but grammatically it works. And the sense isn't 
too bad either, since we can readily understand that maybe they don't 
both fall at the same time.
