Exegesis

A second kai introduces elampsen {καὶ ἔλαμψεν | kaí élampsen} ‘shone’, again in the aorist, which takes to prosōpon autou {τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ | tó prósōpon autoû} ‘His face’ as its nominative subject, with the simile hōs ho hēlios {ὡς ὁ ἥλιος | hōs ho hḗlios} ‘like the sun’ intensifying the visual brilliance through natural comparison.
