26 Two men had remained in the camp, one named Eldad and the other Medad; the Spirit rested on them—they were among those listed, but had not gone out to the tent—and they prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran and reported to Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

28 Joshua son of Nun, assistant to Moses since his youth,E responded, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”

29 But Moses asked him, “Are you jealous on my account?o If only all the Lord’s people were prophets and the Lord would place his Spirit on them!”
