https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertextuality

In their Understanding Biblical Intertextuality discussion, Dru Johnson and Brent Strawn stumble upon way to explain Biblical intertextuality using modern English vernacular: "iykyk," i.e. "If you know, you know." Analogous to the phenomenon of an inside joke, the Biblical authors will cite just some piece or aspect of another text expecting you to bring in the full web of memories and context associated with that text, not just the stated words themselves.

Richard Hays' criteria for legitimate intertextual link:[1]

  1. Availability
  2. Volume
  3. Recurrence
  4. Thematic coherence
  5. Historical plausibility
  6. History of interpretation
  7. Satisfaction
