Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female. Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.

Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The vision's catalogue — 'four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky' — recalls the ordered creaturely classes gathered to the ark (beasts after their kind, creeping things, fowl). The taxonomic phrasing echoes the Genesis flood inventory of all flesh; thematic coherence is moderate (universal scope of living kinds), volume modest.
Medium confidenceThe gathering of every kind of beast, creeping thing, and bird (the ark inventory by 'kinds') is faintly echoed in the sheet's comprehensive menagerie 'of the earth' descending from heaven. Figural, low volume.
