Echo3

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

Luke 13:18-19 ?

'By the streams the birds of the sky have their habitation; they sing among the branches' offers a creation-praise image of birds nesting in branches. Low Volume and likely incidental compared with the prophetic world-tree texts.

Low confidence
Mark 4:30-32 ?

The psalm's 'birds of the sky' that nest by the branches and sing reflects the same creation-poetic image of birds lodging in foliage. It is a faint, generic parallel that adds coherence to the nesting-birds detail but lacks the kingdom-tree distinctiveness of Ezekiel and Daniel.

Low confidence
Matt 13:31-32 ?

'Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches' — birds nesting in branches as an image of creational shelter.
