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

1 Cor 9:13-14 ?

'You may eat it in any place... it is your reward for your service' tightly matches Paul's reasoning that ministerial service earns a livelihood (vv.13-14). A low-volume echo gathered with the broader Num 18 portion legislation.

Low confidence
1 Tim 5:17-18 ?

Supporting elders who labor in teaching echoes the provision that the Levites may eat the tithe as 'your wages in return for your service.' Sacred ministry warrants material support, a principle drawn from the priestly portion in the Torah.
