The Key Word — ἱμάτιον, himationgenerated
The word ἱμάτιον (himation) refers to garments or clothing, specifically outer garments. It is a noun in the nominative plural neuter form, indicating multiple articles of clothing. This term is used in various contexts throughout the New Testament to describe the attire of individuals.
In this verse, it emphasizes the transformation of Jesus' appearance, highlighting the brilliance of His garments as a sign of His divine glory.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The Berean Standard Bible translates the verse as 'His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.' This is echoed in the KJV and ASV, which describe the garments as shining and exceeding white.
However, the NET Bible uses 'launderer' while the KJV opts for 'fuller,' indicating a difference in terminology for the same profession. The YLT and WEB also provide slightly different renderings, emphasizing the brightness and whiteness of the garments.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is ἐγένετο, was, which governs the description of Jesus' garments. The structure includes a subject noun phrase, the garments, and an adjective phrase that describes their state as shining and white.
The sentence is built around the transformation of Jesus' appearance, with additional clauses providing details about the brightness and comparison to earthly launderers.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἱμάτιον appears in the Septuagint, typically translating the Hebrew word for clothing, בֶּ֫גֶד. This connection highlights the significance of garments in biblical texts, often symbolizing purity and righteousness.
The term is associated with the act of cleansing or whitening, as seen in the context of fullers in the Old Testament, further enriching its meaning in the New Testament.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et apparuit illis Elias cum Moyse : et erant loquentes cum Jesu.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ἱμάτιον (himation) refers to an outer garment or cloak, derived from the word for clothing, εἷμα. It is used in the New Testament to describe various types of garments, often contrasting with the inner tunic, χιτών. Key verses include Matthew 5:40 and Mark 5:27. The plural form can refer to garments in general.

The chief garments of the Hebrews were the tunic or inner garment, and the mantle or outer garment. These seem to have constituted a "change of Rainment," Jud 14:13 19:1-30 Ac 9:39. The tunic was of linen, and was worn next to the skin, fitting close to the body; it had armholes, and sometimes wide and open sleeves, and reached below the knees; that worn by females reached to the ankles. The tunic was sometimes woven without seam, like that of Jesus, Joh 19:23. The upper garment or mantle was a piece of cloth nearly square, and two or three yards in length and breadth, which was wrapped round the body, or tied over the shoulders. A man without this robe on was sometimes said to be "naked,"

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

γίνομαι (ginomai) is a versatile Greek verb meaning to come into being, be born, or arise. It covers a wide range of uses, from the creation of things to events occurring. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as birth (e.g., Romans 1:3), occurrences in nature (e.g., John 12:29), and actions being performed (e.g., Matthew 21:42). It can also express the idea of becoming or changing states.

λίαν (lian) is an adverb meaning 'very' or 'exceedingly.' It is used in various contexts to intensify meaning, often appearing in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 2:16 and 8:28. The word has roots in both Homeric and later Greek, and it is frequently used to express a high degree of something, as seen in classical literature.
λίαν (in Hom. and Ion. λίην), [for λιλαν, Adw to desire ; ef. Cur‘ius § 532], adv., greatly, exceedingly: Mt. ii. 16; ἦν. 8; viii. 28; xxvii.14; Mk.i. 35; ix.3, xvi.2; Lk. xxiii. 8; 2 Tim. iv. 15; 2Jn.4; 3Jn.3; (2 Mace. xi.1; 4 Mace. viii. 16; Tob. ix. 4, ete.; for 18, Gen. i. 31; iv. 5; 18. xi. 15); λίαν ἐκ περισσοῦ, exceedingly beyond measure, Mk. vi. 51 [WH om. Tr br. éxzepic.]. See ὑπερλίαν.

For the epistolary formula ἐχάρην λίαν in 2 Jn *, 3 Jn ὃ, we may compare BGU II. 632!° (ii/a.p.) καὶ ἐπιγνούς σε ἐρρωμένην λίαν ἐχάρην, ‘Sand when I knew that you were in sound health I rejoiced greatly,” P Giss I. 21° (time of Trajan) λίαν ἐχάρην ἀκούσασα ὅτι ἔρρωσαι : see also P Par 423 (B.C. 156) λίαν σοι χάριν μεγάλην ἐσχήκαμεν. Otherwise the adv. is common, e.g. P Tebt I. 12% (B.c. 118) ἀποδέχομαι δὲ τὰ παρὰ σοῦ λίαν, “1 accept completely your views’’ (Edd.), P Oxy II. 29825 (i/A.p.) λίαν αὐτὸν βαρύνομαι, “1 am too severe with him” (Edd.), 26.

The word can refer to both fallen snow and snow-water, with its roots connected to coldness and winter. It is noted in lexicons for its usage in classical literature as well.
χιών, -dvos, 9, fr. Hom. down, Sept. for 19v, snow: Mt. xxviii.3; Mk. ix. 3 (where it is omitted by GT Tr WH); Rev. i. 14.
χιών, “snow” (Mt 28%, Rev 113) occurs in the magic papyri P Lond 1213® (iii/A.D.) (=I. p. 96) χιὼν γένουν, zd. 4619 (iv/A.pD.) (=I. p. 65) σὺ yap et 6 καταδείξας φῶς Kal χιόνα, and 26. 122%° (iv/A.D.) (=I. p. 117) τῷ κυρίῳ τῶν χιόνων.

sno (shelegh, telagh (Da 7:9); chion):
(1) Snow is not uncommon in the winter in Jerusalem, but it never reaches any depth and in many winters it is not seen at all. It usually disappears, for the most part, as soon as the sun appears, though it may "hide itself" for a time in the gorge cut by a stream (Job 6:16). On lower levels than Jerusalem there is never sufficient to cover the ground, though often there are some flakes seen in the air. Even at sea-level there is occasionally a sufficient fall of hail to cover the ground. A very exceptional snowfall is related in 1 Macc 13:22 at Adora (near Hebron). It was heavy enough to prevent the movement of troops.
Snow
Common in Palestine in winter (Ps. 147:16). The snow on the tops of the Lebanon range is almost always within view throughout the whole year. The word is frequently used figuratively by the sacred writers (Job 24:19; Ps. 51:7; 68:14; Isa. 1:18). It is mentioned only once in the historical books (2 Sam. 23:20). It was “carried to Tyre, Sidon, and Damascus as a luxury, and labourers sweltering in the hot harvest-fields used it for the purpose of cooling the water which they drank (Prov. 25:13; Jer. 18:14).…
This historical books of the Bible contain only two notices of snow actually falling -- (2 Samuel 23:20) 1Macc 13:22; but the allusions in the poetical books are so numerous that there can be no doubt as to its being an ordinary occurrence in the winter months. (Psalms 147:16; 148:8) The snow lies deep in the ravines of the highest ridge of Lebanon until the summer is far advanced and indeed never wholly disappears; the summit of Hermon also perpetually glistens with frozen snow. From these sources probably the Jews obtained their supplies of ice for the purpose of cooling their beverages in summer. (Proverbs 25:13) The liability to snow must of course vary considerably in a country of such varying altitude as Palestine. At…
Is often alluded to in Scripture, for its whiteness, Ex 4:6; Nu 12:10; 2Ki 5:27; Ps 51:7; Isa 1:18, and for its cleansing qualities, Job 9:30. The expression in Pr 25:13, "as the cold of snow in the time of harvest," alludes to its use in preparing cool drinks for the reapers; while on the other hand, in Pr 26:1, "snow in summer," that is, a fall of snow, being unseasonable and unnatural, is compared to honors inappropriately lavished on a fool.

The Greek word οἷος is a relative pronoun meaning 'what sort or manner of' and is often used in the New Testament without its correlative τοιοῦτος.

The Greek word γναφεύς (gnapheus) refers to a fuller or cloth-dresser, derived from the verb γνάπτω (gnapto), meaning to tease or card wool. It appears in the New Testament in Mark 9:3, and is associated with the process of bleaching cloth.

The Greek word ἐπί (epi) is a preposition that indicates a relationship of superposition, often translated as 'on,' 'upon,' or 'over.' It can govern the genitive, dative, or accusative cases, covering meanings related to place, time, authority, and various figurative uses. In the New Testament, it frequently appears with the accusative case, especially in contexts of motion or direction, such as in Matthew 14:28.

Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word γῆ (gē) means 'earth' or 'land' and is used in various contexts, including the physical ground, cultivated land, and regions or countries. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often contrasting with 'heaven' or 'sea.' The lexicons indicate a consensus on its meanings, which encompass both the solid part of the globe and the concept of territory.

urth ('adhamah, 'erets, 'aphar; ge, oikoumene):
In a hilly limestone country like Palestine, the small amount of iron oxide in the rocks tends to be oxidized, and thereby to give a prevailing reddish color to the soil. This is especially the case on relatively barren hills where there is little organic matter present to prevent reddening and give a more blackish tinge.
'Adhamah (compare 'adham, "a man," and Adam) is from 'adham, "to be red," and is used in the senses: "earth" (Ex 20:24), "land" (Ps 105:35), a "land" or country (Isa 14:2), "ground" (Ge 4:11), "the earth" (Ge 7:4).
Earth
(1.) In the sense of soil or ground, the translation of the word adamah’. In Gen. 9:20 “husbandman” is literally “man of the ground or earth.” Altars were to be built of earth (Ex. 20:24). Naaman asked for two mules’ burden of earth (2 Kings 5:17), under the superstitious notion that Jehovah, like the gods of the heathen, could be acceptably worshipped only on his own soil.
(2). As the rendering of ’erets, it means the whole world (Gen. 1:2); the land as opposed to the sea (1:10). Erets also denotes a country (21:32); a plot of ground (23:15); the ground on which a man stands (33:3); the inhabitants of the earth (6:1; 11:1); all the world except Israel (
The term is used in two widely-different senses: (1) for the material of which the earth’s surface is composed; (2) as the name of the planet on which man dwells. The Hebrew language discriminates between these two by the use of separate terms, adamah for the former, erets for the latter. Adamah is the earth in the sense of soil or ground, particularly as being susceptible of cultivation. (Genesis 2:7) Erets is applied in a more or less extended sense-- (1) to the whole world, (Genesis 1:1) (2) to land as opposed to sea, (Genesis 1:10) (3) to a country, (Genesis 21:32) (4) to a plot of ground, (Genesis 23:15) and (5) to…
In both Hebrew and Greek the same word is used to denote the earth as a whole, and a particular land. Only the context can enable us to decide in which of these senses it is to be taken in a given passage.
Thus in Mt 27:45 we might, so far as the original word is concerned, render either "there was darkness over all the land," or over all the earth. The expression "all the earth" is sometimes used hyperbolically for a large portion of it, Ezr 1:2. The word is used of the whole world, etc. In a moral sense, earthly is opposed to what is heavenly, spiritual and holy, Joh 3:31 1Co 15:47 Col 3:2

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.

δύναμαι, transliterated as dunamai, means 'to be able' or 'to have power.' It can refer to personal ability, permission, or opportunity. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as in Matthew 6:24 and Mark 2:7. The lexicons indicate that it can be used with an infinitive or an accusative, but there is some variation in the forms and usages noted in different sources.

a'-b'-l: The Greek dunamai, "to have power," may refer either to inherent strength, or to the absence of in external obstacles, or to what may be allowable or permitted. The Greek ischuo, as in Lu 13:24; Joh 21:6, refers always to the first of the above meanings. The use of the word as an adjective the King James Version of 2Co 3:6, is misleading, and has been properly changed in the Revised Version (British and American) into "sufficient as ministers," i.e. "hath fitted us to be ministers."

The Greek word οὕτω (i.e., houto) is an adverb meaning 'in this way' or 'thus.' It is derived from the demonstrative pronoun οὗτος and is used in various contexts to refer to what precedes or follows in a statement. The New Testament employs it frequently, particularly in the Gospels and Acts, to clarify or emphasize descriptions and comparisons.

The Greek word λευκαίνω (leukainō) means to whiten or make white. It is derived from λευκός (leukos), meaning white. The term appears in the New Testament in Mark 9:3 and Revelation 7:14, where it conveys the idea of brightness or purity. Various sources note its usage in classical literature and the Septuagint, but there is no significant disagreement among the lexicons.
λευκαίνω
(< λευκός),
[in LXX: Ps 50 (51):7, Is 1:18 (לבן hi.), etc.;]
to whiten, make white: c. acc. rei, Mk 9:3, Re 7:14.†
λευκαίνω: 1 aor. ἐλεύκανα [cf. W. § 18, 1 d.; B. 41 (35)]; (λευκός) ; fr. Hom. down; Sept. for p37; to whiten, make white: ri, Mk. ix. 3; Rev. vii. 14.
λευκαίνω. We have not noted any instance of this verb in our sources, but for the corresponding λευκόω, “whiten,” cf.

The subst. λεύκωμα, a white board used for public notices, is seen in such a passage as Sy// 510° (Ephesus—ii/B.c.) ἃ δ᾽ ἂν οἱ δικασταὶ κρίνωσιν, ἀναγράψαντες εἰς λεύκωμα ot εἰσαγωγεῖς κτλ.
