Numbers 11:26-30
International Children’s Bible
26 Two men named Eldad and Medad were also listed as leaders. But they did not go to the Tent. They stayed in the camp. The Spirit was given to them. So they prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran to Moses. He said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Joshua son of Nun said, “Moses, my master, stop them!” (Since he was a young boy, Joshua had been Moses’ assistant.)
29 But Moses answered, “Are you afraid for me? I wish all the Lord’s people could prophesy. I wish the Lord would give his Spirit to all of them!” 30 Then Moses and the leaders of Israel went back to the camp.

New International Version
26 However, 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,(A) and they prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Joshua son of Nun,(B) who had been Moses’ aide(C) since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”(D)
29 But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets(E) and that the Lord would put his Spirit(F) on them!”(G) 30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
