This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Do this in memory of me' (vv.24-25) mirrors the Passover ordinance that the day be a 'memorial' (zikkaron / LXX mnemosynon) kept perpetually. The memorial-meal logic transfers from Exodus to the Lord's Supper.
Medium confidence'Do this in memory of me' transposes the Passover's standing command, 'this day shall be a memorial,' onto the new rite. The memorial (zikkaron) logic of the feast is coherently redirected to Jesus, supporting a deliberate allusion.
Medium confidence◇ Figural2
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
Faith demonstrated not by citation but by retelling — Moses, the Passover, the sea, Jericho, Rahab compressed into a litany of ‘by faith.’ Figural reuse of whole narratives: the Old Testament itself becomes the cloud of witnesses of 12:1.
High confidencethe memorial-meal command undergirds Jesus' reconstitution of the Passover as his own memorial in the verses that follow.
