◇ Figural2
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
'The Word became flesh and lived (eskēnōsen, 'tabernacled') among us' deliberately evokes the sanctuary that God commanded so he might 'dwell among them.' The tabernacle-pitching verb is the load-bearing figural cue: the incarnate Word is the new tent of meeting. High volume and thematic coherence.
High confidence'Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them' establishes the tabernacle as God's dwelling, the OT substrate John reworks when Jesus prepares an eternal dwelling-place and elsewhere reads his own body as the temple. Figural rather than verbal; the connection runs through John's larger temple Christology more than through 14:2 itself.
