Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Now you are releasing your servant... in peace; for my eyes have seen...' draws on the promise that Abraham would 'go to his fathers in peace' once God's word was fulfilled. The depart-in-peace-after-seeing-the-promise pattern is coherent, supplying the form of Simeon's release.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Being 'carried to Abraham's bosom' and the rich man's address 'Father Abraham' draw on the patriarchal hope of being gathered to one's fathers, with Abraham as the paradigmatic destination of the righteous dead. Coherence with the gathered-to-Abraham motif is strong, though 'bosom' as the resting place is Second-Temple development.
