I don't trust Victor Alexander's work at all. Have you read his "translation" of Genesis 1:1-2 yet?
Genesis 1
1. As the beginning, the Son of God creates the heavens and the earth.*
2. And the earth was for Him and by Him,* and the darkness was over the face of infinite space, and the Spirit of God was over the layers of the water.*
He seems to think that overtly adding into the text what is not there, (even though it may be true), or interpreting its meaning by adding his coments within the text, rather than translating the actual words that are found there, and letting the reader seek the interpretation, is the right way to go.
I say, it's extreeeeeeeeemly wrong to do such things.
