Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Elijah's forty-day fast journey to Horeb is a secondary candidate for the forty-day motif. Lower Volume than the Exodus/Deuteronomy frame, but Luke's special interest in Elijah later in this very chapter (vv.25-26) raises its Coherence.
Low confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Paul's retreat 'into Arabia' (which he later equates with Sinai/Horeb, Gal 4:25) before returning may shadow Elijah's flight to Horeb after his zeal, where the prophet is re-commissioned. A figural prophet-in-the-wilderness resonance; faint and contested, given the geographic note is mainly itinerary.
