Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Unleavened bread shall be eaten... neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters' parallels 'keep the feast... with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.' Strong Coherence: the Feast of Unleavened Bread is the explicit referent of Paul's 'let us keep the feast.'
High confidenceThe reinforcing command that no leaven be seen in all your borders during the feast undergirds the same purity image. Recurrence across the Exodus leaven texts strengthens the figural force of contamination spreading through the community.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Reinforces the leaven-as-defilement imagery from the Feast of Unleavened Bread, where no leaven may be seen within the borders. Secondary to Exodus 12:15.
