Echo3

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

Acts 11:22-26

Joshua's farewell command to love the LORD, walk in his ways, and 'cleave unto him' with all the heart and soul stands behind the same 'purpose of heart... remain near to the Lord' exhortation. Reinforces the recurrence of the OT cleaving-to-the-Lord formula.

Medium confidence
Mark 12:28-34 ?

Joshua's exhortation to love the Lord, walk in his ways, and serve him 'with all your heart and all your soul' echoes the Shema's totalizing love-language that Jesus quotes. As a near-verbatim restatement of Deuteronomy's command, it shows the formula's currency but adds little beyond the primary citation.

Low confidence
Matt 22:34-40 ?

Command to 'love the LORD your God... with all your heart and with all your soul' — another canonical restatement standing behind 22:37.
