for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
The summons to turn to 'the living God, who made the sky and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them' (v15) reproduces the Sabbath-commandment formula 'the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.' Volume very high (the full four-membered creation list verbatim); Thematic Coherence strong (Creator vs. the 'vain things' of idolatry). The clearest scriptural backbone of the Lystra speech.
High confidenceAllusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The prayer's address in v.24, 'you who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them,' is the fourfold creation formula of Exod 20:11 (the Sabbath commandment) almost verbatim in the LXX. High Volume on the formula; strong coherence as the appeal to the Creator-Sovereign grounds the appeal against earthly rulers that follows.
High confidence'The LORD made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them' — the Sabbath-commandment creation formula directly behind 'Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters.' Verbal parallel of the tripartite cosmos.
High confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that is in them' is echoed in 'made the world and all things in it... Lord of heaven and earth'; recurrent creation formula.
Medium confidence'the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them' supplies the Decalogue creation triad sworn by; alternative or parallel source to Neh 9:6 for the same formula.
