On this verse

"While he spoke, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them." That is the overshadowing of the divine Spirit, who is not dark with the emotions of humankind but unveils secrets. This is also revealed in another place when an angel says, "And the power of the Most High shall overshadow you." The effect of this is shown when the voice of God is heard, saying, "This is my beloved Son; hear him." Elijah is not the Son, and Moses is not the Son.
