Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising' underlies 'the nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring...' (v.24). Isa 60 is the controlling text for v.23-26.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising' — the gentile-to-light/star pattern reinforcing the Magi following a star to the newborn king. Faint, thematic rather than verbal; contested as distinct from the broader Isaiah 60 field.
