Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Genesis 5:2 repeats 'male and female created he them, and blessed them'; the doublet reinforces the 'from the beginning' creation argument and may stand behind Jesus' formulation alongside 1:27.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The toledot restatement 'male and female he created them, and blessed them' reinforces the male-and-female creation formula Jesus cites. It is a secondary witness to the same tradition behind Genesis 1:27, strengthening Recurrence. Marked contested because Mark most plausibly draws on Genesis 1:27 directly.
