You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a male prostitute, into the house of Yahweh your God for any vow; for both of these are an abomination to Yahweh your God.

Where this passage surfaces again, sorted by the strength of the link. Each kind of reuse — formal quotation, deliberate allusion, faint echo, figural pattern — carries its own mark. Follow any reference to read it in place.

Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Phil 3:2-3 ?

Paul's pejorative 'the dogs' inverts the Torah's exclusion of the 'dog' (cult prostitute's wage) from the sanctuary; the unclean outsider epithet is reapplied to Judaizing opponents in a deliberate reversal. Coherence with the circumcision polemic that follows supports the link, though the metaphor is widespread.

Medium confidence

Echo1

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

Rev 22:14–17 ?

'Dogs' excluded from the assembly (the 'wages of a dog' barred from the house of the LORD) — possible background for 'Outside are the dogs.' Conceptual; the metaphor is debated.
