Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Anna speaks of the child 'to all who were looking for the redemption (lytrosis) of Jerusalem,' echoing Isaiah's 'the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.' The redemption-of-Jerusalem phrase has direct Septuagintal availability and pairs with Simeon's 'consolation of Israel,' giving the pericope a strong Isaianic frame.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Break forth into joy... for YHWH has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem' ties comfort to redemption and corporate joy, paralleling Paul's link between shared suffering and shared comfort/salvation. The recurrence of the comfort-redemption pairing in Second Isaiah supports availability, though the verbal contact is lighter than 49:13 or 51:12.
