Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'I will cause breath/spirit to enter you, and you shall live' — Rev's 'the breath of life from God entered into them' is a direct adoption of the dry-bones revivification oracle. Highest volume in the pericope. LXX pneuma zoes entering the slain matches Rev's pneuma zoes.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Ezekiel 37:5-6 ('I will cause breath/spirit to enter into you, and ye shall live') reinforces the Spirit-vivifies-the-dead imagery behind 'the Spirit gives life.' Recurrence within Ezekiel 37 strengthens the allusion cluster; slightly lower volume than v.14.
