And after six days יהושע took Kĕpha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yoḥanan, and led them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. And He was transformed before them.
And His garments became glittering, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth is able to whiten.
And there appeared to them Ěliyahu with Mosheh, and they were talking with יהושע.
And Kĕpha responding, said to יהושע, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three booths, one for You, and one for Mosheh, and one for Ěliyahu,”
because he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.
And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!”
And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them, but only יהושע.
And as they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them not to relate to anyone what they saw, till the Son of Aḏam had risen from the dead.
And they kept this matter to themselves, debating what the rising from the dead meant.
And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Ěliyahu has to come first?”
And He said to them, “Ěliyahu indeed, having come first, restores all matters. And how has it been written concerning the Son of Aḏam, that He is to suffer much and be despised?
But I say to you that even Ěliyahu has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it has been written of him.
