The scoured bronze of the sanctuary verbal / quotation — confirmed
The rare verb מרק (H4838, mâraq, "to scour / polish / burnish") occurs in only four verses in the whole Hebrew Bible, and one of them describes the bronze temple vessels Huram-abi made for Solomon — the pots, shovels, and meat forks, made "of polished bronze" (the noun נחשת with the participle of mâraq). Three shared lexemes bind the two texts — the rare H4838 mâraq (only 4 vv), plus H5178 nᵉchôsheth (bronze) and H3627 kᵉlîy (vessel) — a distinctive craft-vocabulary for working sacred bronze that the law for the sanctuary and the account of the temple it anticipates hold in common. The link rests on the rarity of mâraq, not on a quotation: Leviticus polishes the bronze to cleanse it of holy residue, Chronicles polishes it to a finish in the making; the same scarce word, different ends.
Leviticus 6:28 · 2 Chronicles 4:16
basis: Verifier: shared lexemes H4838 mâraq (rare — only 4 vv), H5178 nᵉchôsheth, H3627 kᵉlîy; the rarity of mâraq makes the verbal link confirmed rather than coincidental. Not a citation — the same scarce craft-verb used independently (cleansing vs. finishing sacred bronze).
Where the priests boil the sin offering structural / thematic — confirmed
Ezekiel's visionary temple preserves the very logic of this unit: the prophet is shown "the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering" — a designated precinct "so that they do not bring them into the outer court and transmit holiness to the people" (Ezekiel 46:20). The boiling verb is shared (H1310 bâshal, in only 24 verses), and with it the whole concern of vv. 26–28: the cooked sin offering is holy, must be handled within the sanctuary, and must not pass its sanctity into common life. Centuries after Moses, Ezekiel still legislates the same containment of contagious holiness — a structural/thematic echo, not a quotation.
Leviticus 6:28 · Ezekiel 46:20
basis: Verifier: shared lexeme H1310 bâshal (in 24 vv) — same procedure (the priests boil the sin offering in a holy precinct so its holiness is not carried out); shared rite and motif, not a citation.
The same hammer for the holy and the unclean structural / thematic — confirmed
An earthen vessel that has boiled the most-holy sin offering must be shattered (6:28); an earthen vessel into which an unclean creature has fallen must likewise be shattered (Leviticus 11:33). The shared lexemes — H2789 cheres (potsherd), H7665 shâbar (shatter), H3627 kᵉlîy (vessel) — bind the two rulings into one principle: porous clay cannot be neutralized, so whatever it absorbs, holy or defiling, dooms it. Keil & Delitzsch note the inversion directly. This is a structural/thematic link — a shared procedure and motif, not a quotation.
Leviticus 6:28 · Leviticus 11:33
basis: Verifier: shared lexemes H2789 cheres, H7665 shâbar, H3627 kᵉlîy — same procedure (break the earthen vessel) applied to opposite contaminations; pattern, not quotation.
Burned, not eaten: the blood that enters the sanctuary structural / thematic — confirmed
Verse 30's exception — the sin offering whose blood is brought inside to make atonement must be burned, not eaten — is the rule the Day of Atonement enacts: the bull and goat "whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place" are carried outside the camp and burned (Leviticus 16:27). The Verifier finds an unusually dense overlap: H3722 kâphar (atone), H8313 sâraph (burn), H2403 chaṭṭâʼâh (sin offering), H1818 dâm (blood), plus ʼêsh (fire) and qôdesh (holy). The cluster is thematic/structural — a shared procedure spanning chapters — and 6:30 is its general statement, Lev 16:27 its supreme instance.
Leviticus 6:30 · Leviticus 16:27
basis: Verifier: shared lexemes H3722 kâphar, H8313 sâraph, H2403 chaṭṭâʼâh, H1818 dâm, H784 ʼêsh, H6944 qôdesh — a shared rite (blood inside → flesh burned), not a verbal citation.
Slaughtered before the LORD: the sin offering of the Day of Atonement structural / thematic — confirmed
The location-rule of 6:25 — the sin offering is slaughtered where the burnt offering is, before the LORD — recurs when Aaron "shall kill the goat of the sin offering" on the great Day (Leviticus 16:15). Shared H7819 shâchaṭ (slaughter) and H2403 chaṭṭâʼâh (sin offering) tie the laity's ordinary rite to the year's central one (H6440 pânîym, "before/face," is too common to bear weight). A thematic link: the same sacrificial grammar scaled from the individual to the nation.
Leviticus 6:25 · Leviticus 16:15
basis: Verifier: shared lexemes H7819 shâchaṭ, H2403 chaṭṭâʼâh (H6440 pânîym too frequent to count) — shared sacrificial procedure, not a quotation.
Suffering outside the gate (flagged — cross-Testament) flagged — verify source
The writer of Hebrews builds his exhortation on exactly 6:30's rule: "the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the gate" (Hebrews 13:11–13). Gill points readers here explicitly. But this is a Greek↔Hebrew link: it cannot rest on shared Strong's numbers (there are none), and the Verifier returns no shared original-language lexeme. The connection is the NT author's own typological argument, recorded and reasoned — not a verbal quotation — and because the precise scope of "those animals" and the identification with the sanctuary-blood class has been disputed, it is flagged for source-verification rather than asserted.
Leviticus 6:30 · Hebrews 13:11
basis: Verifier: no shared original-language lexeme (cross-Testament Greek↔Hebrew); the link is the writer of Hebrews' typological application, contested in scope — argued, not asserted.
