Numbers 11:26-30
Lexham English Bible
26 But two men were left in the camp; the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the second was Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among those who were written down, but they did not go out to the tent, so they prophesied in the camp. 27 So a boy[a] ran and told Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” 28 And Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from time of his youth, answered, “Moses, my lord, stop them.” 29 But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that he[b] give all Yahweh’s people prophets, that Yahweh put his spirit on them!” 30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel were gathered 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.
