But was what the original author wrote a Piel? Seeing as the points were 
invented two millenia after it was written, could they have preserved a 
tradition 
that was at variance with the author’s original intent?

In difficult to decypher verses, I often find that a logical meaning 
consistant with its context and grammar can be teased out of the verse, if I 
change a 
point or two. Happily such verses are fairly rare.
