Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'The LORD had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them' directly undergirds v.28's 'beloved for the fathers' sake' and v.29's irrevocable calling. Pairs with Deut 7:7-8 as the election-of-the-patriarchs source.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'The LORD set his affection on your fathers to love them and chose their descendants' is a near-synonymous parallel to the election of the fathers; reinforces the choosing language. Recurrence strengthens the Deuteronomic source pool.
