Allusion3
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
"a people for God's own possession" (2:9) renders laos eis peripoiēsin, echoing the 'peculiar treasure/possession' (laos periousios / segullah) of Exodus 19:5; reinforces the Sinai covenant frame alongside Exod 19:6, and resonant with Mal 3:17 / Isa 43:21.
High confidence'You shall be my own possession among all peoples' (segullah / LXX laos periousios) underlies 'the redemption of God's own possession.' Recurrence with Deut 7:6 and 14:2 and thematic coherence (covenant possession claimed and redeemed) reinforce the allusion; the volume on the possession concept is high.
High confidence'Purify for himself a people for his own possession' (v.14) draws on 'you shall be my treasured possession (peculiar people) above all peoples.' The covenant election of a treasured people is reapplied to the church redeemed by Christ.

'A people for his name' (v.14) echoes the Sinai promise that Israel would be God's 'treasured possession out of all peoples' — the foundational election text now applied to the nations. Recurrence with Deut 7:6 / 14:2.
