but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn all of it on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'The sweet aroma (osmē euōdias)' Paul and his ministry spread is the exact LXX sacrificial formula for the burnt offering: 'an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.' Paul casts apostolic ministry as a sacrifice whose fragrance ascends. Volume is high on the set phrase osmē euōdias; medium overall because the phrase recurs across the whole sacrificial system rather than one verse.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'A burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD' is the prototypical instance of the formula Paul quotes, reinforcing availability and recurrence of the 'pleasing aroma' sacrificial language across the Levitical code. Volume is moderate; it corroborates Exodus 29 as the cultic backdrop.
