Dear Jonathan,
In writing you earlier, I neglected to include an expansion from my
earlier work on "the birth of a savior" and "the sending of a savior" type
scenes, as well as a discussion of the "prophet/god and his wife" episodes
and the desert/new life story pattern. This is in my new book The Bible in
History: How Writers Create a Past (London, Cape, 1999), pp. 323-374 and pp.
217-227. On wife-sister + shepherd conflict, see my Origin Tradition of
Ancient Israel (Sheffield, 1987), pp. 51-60, but that is pretty much "old
hat".
Good luck on your project.
Thomas
