Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
Moses 'was exceedingly handsome... nourished three months in his father's house' closely follows 'she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.'
High confidence◇ Figural1
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
‘Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months… because they saw that he was a beautiful child’ (v. 23) is a near-verbatim retelling of Exod 2:2. High verbal volume — ‘hidden three months’ and the ‘fine/beautiful child’ both carry over.
