There are some striking parallels between Jesus' transfiguration (Matthew 17) and Moses' experience on Sinai (Exodus 19, etc). For example...

-Both men climbed the mountain with an inner circle of special advisors.
-Both men had an encounter with YHVH on the mountain.
-Both men's physical appearance was transformed and shone with an inner light.
-YHVH appeared on both mountains in clouds and light and spoke in a voice others could hear.
-Observers in both cases fell on their faces before the power of God.
