It will be a unique day which is known to Yahweh; not day, and not night; but it will come to pass, that at evening time there will be light.

Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'A unique day... not day and not night, but at evening time there shall be light' — source for the perpetual-light / 'no night there' motif (v.23,25). Cf. Zech 14:6 (no cold/frost) and 14:8 (living waters).
Medium confidenceA unique day, not day and not night, but at evening time there shall be light. Underlies 'no night... the Lord God will illuminate them' alongside Isa 60:19. Coherence within the Zech 14 matrix.
Medium confidenceEcho3
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Zechariah's Tabernacles-day vision of continuous light ('at evening time there shall be light'), read liturgically at the feast, situates Jesus' light-claim within the festival's eschatological imagery. Moderate Coherence with the temple setting of v.20.
Medium confidence'A unique day... known to the LORD' on which the timing is hidden faintly parallels 'of that day or hour no one knows... but only the Father.' Zechariah's day-of-the-LORD whose timing belongs to God alone coheres with Mark's reservation of the hour to the Father; contested.
Low confidence'a day known to the LORD' alone (Zech 14:7) parallels 'no one knows of that day and hour... but my Father only,' the day's timing reserved to God.
