James,
You write: "Karl has given you the linguistic arguments."
Yes, and I am grateful.
Having written regarding Professor Alter: "I have to admit I don't know who he is either." you then write: "I strongly suspect that Alter has theological reasons for his interpretation."
I strongly suspect that you have qualitatively insufficient warrant to make such a claim, nor do I see what possible theological reason(s) might serve as an agenda underling his translation.
With regards,
Jay
