Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Lev 20:13 repeats the same LXX phrase (arsenos koiten gynaikos) and adds the death penalty, reinforcing the lexical derivation of arsenokoitai and the kingdom-exclusion logic. Recurrence across both Holiness-Code chapters strengthens the allusion.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The condemnation of homosexual practice also echoes the parallel capital statute of the Holiness Code. The Septuagint wording of these verses is widely held to underlie the NT compound term rendered 'homosexuals.' A lexical echo of Levitical purity law.
