Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Flee sexual immorality!' (v.18) evokes the paradigm of Joseph who literally fled and left his garment to escape Potiphar's wife, the canonical exemplar of fleeing porneia. Coherent and recognized in Jewish moral tradition (cf. Wisdom-Joseph paraenesis); medium volume by motif.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The flight in which a garment is left behind in the grasping hands recalls Joseph fleeing Potiphar's wife, who 'caught him by his garment... and he left his garment in her hand, and fled.' The shared motif of escaping by abandoning the seized cloth supports a faint verbal echo, though the contexts differ.
