Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle. Moses wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The bright cloud (the kabod/Shekinah) overshadowing and filling the tent of meeting. 'A bright cloud overshadowed them' (episkiazo) draws on the tabernacle-cloud of divine presence, reinforced by Peter's wish to build three skenai (tents).
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The overshadowing cloud from which the voice speaks recalls the glory-cloud filling the tabernacle, especially as Peter proposes building 'tents/booths' for the three. The tent/tabernacle-glory linkage gives moderate volume and good coherence.
Medium confidence◇ Figural1
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
The glory of the LORD filling the tabernacle is the template for 'we saw his glory' (v.14): the indwelling Word manifests the kabod that once filled the tent. The tabernacle-plus-glory pairing makes the figural reading near-certain. High coherence and recurrence with the Sinai cycle.
