Exegesis
soi mian, Mōusei mian, Ēlia mian {τρεῖς σκηνὰς … σοὶ μίαν, Μωϋσεῖ μίαν, Ἠλίᾳ μίαν | treîs skē-nàs … soì mí-an, Mō-ü-seî mí-an, Ē-lí-ai mí-an} balances three parallel proposals, underscoring Peter’s desire to honor each figure equally and reflecting his misunderstanding of Jesus’ unique status.
In context — Matthew 17:4
Peter answered and said to Jesus , “Lord , it is a good thing for us to be here; if You wish, I will put up three tents here—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
