As an observer who sometimes disagrees with Peter Kirk, 
he knows a lot more Biblical Hebrew than you. An 
example is the following:

The two accounts contradict if and only if you do not use 
Biblical Hebrew syntax and grammar. Modern Hebrew 
uses a grammar that has elements taken from German 
(Yiddish) or Russian, so I would not be surprised if the two 
accounts contradict when reading with modern Hebrew 
understanding. But in Biblical Hebrew the two accounts 
compliment each other: one from a God's eye view and 
the second from a man's eye view.
