A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Reinforces the 'signs and wonders' idiom by tying it specifically to a commissioned human agent (Moses 'whom the Lord sent to do all the signs and wonders'), paralleling miracles done 'by their hands.' Recurrence within the Pentateuch supports the topos; Volume is faint on its own. Contested as a distinct source rather than part of the broader Exodus signs-and-wonders cluster.
