Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The reception of food 'with thanksgiving' and its sanctification 'through prayer' draws on the command, 'You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.' The blessing/thanksgiving over food is the OT practice presupposed.
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Paul's taking bread, giving thanks to God before all, breaking and eating it draws on the OT practice of blessing God over food — 'thou shalt eat and be full, and thou shalt bless the LORD thy God.' The act of thanksgiving over bread before a meal coheres with this command, though here it is a custom evoked rather than a text cited.
Low confidence'You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the LORD' — the eat-and-be-satisfied formula echoed in 'they all ate, and were filled' (15:37), with Jesus giving thanks.
