Echo2

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

Rev 6:9–11

The sacrificial blood poured out 'at the base of the altar' grounds the image of the martyrs' souls/lives 'underneath the altar,' since 'the life is in the blood' (Lev 17:11); cultic-sacrificial coherence supports reading the martyrs as poured-out offerings.

Medium confidence
Rev 9:13-19

Blood placed on 'the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD' — the sacrificial-horns idiom underlying 'the horns of the golden altar' in 9:13, reinforcing the Exodus 30 incense-altar background of the avenging voice.
