Exegesis
The distributive sequence soi mían kaì Mōusêi mían kaì Ēlía mían {σοὶ μίαν καὶ Μωϋσεῖ μίαν καὶ Ἠλίᾳ μίαν | soî mí-an kaí Mōu-seî mí-an kaí Ē-líā mí-an} assigns one tent to each. In translation, the participial opening is rendered with ‘replied’ in the formal and ‘said’ in the dynamic to reflect narrative flow, and the hortatory subjunctive is expressed with ‘let us erect’ in the formal and ‘let us set up’ in the dynamic to convey urgency and provisionality.
In context — Mark 9:5
Peter replied to Jesus , “Rabbi, it is truly good for us to stay here ; therefore, let us erect three tents—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
