26 But two men had remained in the camp; the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the [a]other, Medad. And (A)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 (B)Joshua the son of Nun, the personal servant of Moses from his youth, responded and said, “(C)My lord Moses, restrain them!” 29 But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? (D)If only all the Lords people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!” 30 Then Moses [b]returned to the camp, both he and the elders of Israel.
