²⁷ A young man ran and told Moshe, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!” ²⁸ Y’hoshua, the son of Nun, who from his youth up had been Moshe’s assistant, answered, “My lord, Moshe, stop them!” ²⁹ But Moshe replied, “Are you so zealous to protect me? I wish all of Adonai’s people were prophets! I wish Adonai would put his Spirit on all of them!”

⁶ Y’hoshua tore his clothes and fell to his face on the ground before the ark of Adonai until evening, he and the leaders of Isra’el, and they put dust on their heads.

²⁸ So Y’hoshua burned down ‘Ai and turned it into a tel forever, so that it remains a ruin to this day.
