Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Give glory to God' is a near-verbatim adjuration formula: Joshua so charges Achan to confess before God in a judicial setting. The Pharisees use the identical oath-formula to pressure the man to recant, marking his testimony as sworn courtroom speech. High Volume via the fixed idiom.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Give glory to the God of Israel/heaven' as the formula of compelled acknowledgment under judgment; background for 'the rest... gave glory to the God of heaven.' Faint, formulaic.
