Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Rev 15:2-4

'Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds (thaumastos)?' supplies 'marvelous' (thaumasta) and the 'for you only are holy' clause. Verbal echo within the very song named in the verse, strengthening the Exod 15 anchor.

Medium confidence

Echo1

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

Rev 13:1-4 ?

'Who is like the beast?' is a dark parody of 'Who is like you, O LORD?' (Exod 15:11, mi kamokah; LXX tis homoios soi). Anti-doxology; the incomparability formula is liturgical. Also Ps 35:10; 113:5.
