Numbers 11:23-29

New American Standard Bible

²³ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Is ^(A)the Lord’s ^[a]power too little? Now you shall see whether ^(B)My word will ^[b]come true for you or not.”

²⁴ So Moses went out and ^(C)told the people the words of the Lord. He also gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and positioned them around the tent. ^25 (D)Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took away some of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. Yet they did not do it again.

²⁶ But two men had remained in the camp; the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the ^[c]other, Medad. And ^(E)the Spirit rested upon them (and they were among those who had been registered, but had not gone out to the tent), and they prophesied in the camp. ²⁷ So a young man ran and informed Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” ²⁸ Then ^(F)Joshua the son of Nun, the personal servant of Moses from his youth, responded and said, “^(G)My lord Moses, restrain them!” ²⁹ But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? ^(H)If only all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”
