Last month I was translating a transcription of an Egyptian border marker from the 1st half of the 2nd millennium BCE, and a sentence said something about the powerful pharoah speaking and acting, a pretty common trope I've come across in an anthology of Egyptian literature.
Then, later that same night, I was reading the book of Ezekiel (in translation), and like the exact same trope was used, but with G-d, I think.
How random is that?
