John 17:24-26

'That they may see my glory' (v24) figures Moses' request 'Show me your glory' and the Sinai vision tradition. John transposes the longed-for sight of divine glory into the disciples' eschatological seeing of the Son's glory; coherent with the chapter's glory and Name theology.

Medium confidence
2 Cor 4:16-18 ?

The 'eternal weight of glory' puns on the Hebrew kabod, which means both 'weight' and 'glory,' the very glory Moses asked to see. Paul's running engagement with the Exodus glory theme (chs. 3-4) makes the wordplay plausible, though no verse is quoted.
