How to read this page

An Intertextuality Pair — one connection between two passages, shown as linked verse cards: the Later text and the Earlier text it quotes, alludes to or echoes. The Significance essay explains why the link matters and where it points in Christ.

Reference Type— how explicit the link is: Quotation, Allusion, or Echo
Connection Method(s)— how it carries meaning: e.g. Typology, Promise-Fulfillment, Analogy, Longitudinal Theme
Found via— where the connection was identified, e.g. the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge or an Anchor-Text Network

Intertextuality Pair

Isaiah 25:6 → Exodus 24:11

Later text

Isaiah 25:6BSB

On this mountain the LORD of Hosts will prepare a banquet for all the peoples, a feast of aged wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine.

Earlier text

Exodus 24:11BSB

But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.

Significance

The two texts share a covenant-meal situation — a feast in God's presence — rather than shared vocabulary. In Exodus 24:11, Israel's seventy-four leaders see God and "ate and drank" (וַיֹּאכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתּוּ, H398 'ākal + H8354 šāṯâ) in His presence: a meal that should have meant death but instead brought fellowship. Isaiah 25:6 promises a universal feast: "On this mountain the LORD of Hosts will prepare a banquet for all the peoples." The verbal overlap is minimal — H398 does not occur in Isaiah 25:6, whose "banquet"/"feast" is מִשְׁתֶּה (H4960), a noun from the same root שׁתה that Exodus 24:11 carries as a verb; and Exodus 24:11's "mountain" belongs to the surrounding pericope, not to the verse itself. On that shared situation Isaiah escalates the covenant-meal motif itself — from a meal restricted to seventy-four leaders to a banquet for all nations, followed by the abolition of death (25:7-8).

Found via: Pulpit Commentary (1880)
Reference Type: Echo (thematic parallel — no demonstrated literary dependence)
Connection Method(s): Longitudinal Theme (supporting motif)

A direct literary dependence between the two is improbable in both directions, so this link is carried as a supporting motif-parallel and not as a demonstrated citation: Isaiah is a parallel instance of one shared theme, not an intra-OT disclosure of the Sinai covenant meal specifically. The christological warrant for the Sinai meal runs through the NT reuse of Exodus 24:8 (Mark 14:24; Hebrews 9:20), not through this OT→OT link.
