The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. To him will the obedience of the peoples be.

Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
‘It is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah’ (v. 14) presupposes the Judah-tribe messianism of Jacob's blessing — the scepter that ‘will not depart from Judah.’ No verbatim citation (a dashed allusion), but high thematic coherence: the argument needs a Messiah from a non-priestly tribe, and Gen 49:10 is the locus classicus for the ruler from Judah.
High confidenceThe Hebrew 'Shiloh' ('until Shiloh comes') was read messianically in Second-Temple tradition and shares the consonantal root behind Siloam/'Sent.' John's 'Sent One' Christology may exploit this resonance, but the linguistic bridge is contested and the gloss more naturally targets Isaiah's Shiloah.
