Luke 1:26-33

'Blessed are you among women' quotes the blessing of Jael, 'Most blessed of women be Jael' (Judges 5:24). The exact superlative-blessing-of-a-woman formula gives high volume; it recurs on Elizabeth's lips at 1:42.

Luke 1:39-45

'Blessed are you among women' repeats the Jael blessing of Judges 5:24, now on Elizabeth's lips. Recurrence (cf. 1:28) confirms this as a deliberate, sustained scriptural beatitude pattern.
