Numbers 11:25-29

251Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do it again.

26But two men had remained in the camp; the name of one was Eldad and the name of the 2other Medad. And 3the Spirit rested upon them (now they were among those who had been registered, but had not gone out to the tent), and they prophesied in the camp. 27So a young man ran and told Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” 28Then 4Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses from his youth, said, “5Moses, my lord, restrain them.” 29But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? 6Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”
