What in the literary style of the writing gives the impression that there should be a change in the way it’s read?
Usually, the reason is a matter of personal preference, generally that someone thinks that it happening the way it was written, doesn’t make sense or some such excuse.
Actually, I didn’t reference “literary style”, actually has nothing to do with it...didn’t know you weren’t familiar with Maimonides...you might have a look at his “Guide for the Perplexed” or at least at some of the passages from it...his work on Genesis is superlative and life-changing...magritte
