Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'The cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle; Moses could not enter' (Exod 40:34-35) is the direct source of 'the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God... no one was able to enter.' Verbal+thematic core; ties the heavenly naos to the wilderness tabernacle named in v.5.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The phrase that 'the power of Christ may rest on me' (lit. 'tabernacle/dwell upon me,' episkenoo) faintly evokes the glory that 'filled the tabernacle' and overshadowed it at its consecration. Faint but offered because Paul's verb is cognate to tabernacle/skene, suggesting the indwelling Shekinah-glory now resting on the apostle's weak body.
