Numbers 11:24-30

New International Version

²⁴So Moses went out and told the people what the Lord had said. He brought together seventy of their elders and had them stand around the tent. ²⁵Then the Lord came down in the cloud^(A) and spoke with him,^(B) and he took some of the power of the Spirit^(C) that was on him and put it on the seventy elders.^(D) When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied^(E)—but did not do so again.

²⁶However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them,^(F) and they prophesied in the camp. ²⁷A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

²⁸Joshua son of Nun,^(G) who had been Moses’ aide^(H) since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”^(I)

²⁹But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets^(J) and that the Lord would put his Spirit^(K) on them!”^(L) ³⁰Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.

New International Version

The Day of the Lord

²⁸“And afterward,
    I will pour out my Spirit^(A) on all people.^(B)
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,^(C)
    your old men will dream dreams,^(D)
    your young men will see visions.
²⁹Even on my servants,^(E) both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days.^(F)
³⁰I will show wonders in the heavens^(G)
    and on the earth,^(H)
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
³¹The sun will be turned to darkness^(I)
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.^(J)
³²And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord^(K) will be saved;^(L)
for on Mount Zion^(M) and in Jerusalem
    there will be deliverance,^(N)
    as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors^(O)
    whom the Lord calls.^[a]^(P)
