Numbers 11:26-30 - Eldad And Medad

26 Now two men had remained in camp. One was named Eldad and the other was named Medad. When the spirit rested on them, since they were among those who were listed but had not gone out to the tent, they stayed behind and prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran and reported to Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!"

28 In response, Nun's son Joshua, Moses' attendant and one of his choice men, exclaimed, "My master Moses! Stop them!"

29 "Are you jealous on account of me?" Moses asked in reply. "I wish all of the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!" 30 Then Moses that is, he and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
