Numbers 11:25-34 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

25. Then 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.

26. But two men had remained in the camp; the name of one was Eldad and the name of the other Medad. And the 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.

27. So a young man ran and told Moses and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."

28. Then Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses from his youth, said, "Moses, my lord, restrain them."

29. But Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord's people were prophets, that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!"

30. Then Moses returned to the camp, both he and the elders of Israel.

31. Now there went forth a wind from the Lord and it brought quail from the sea, and let them fall beside the camp, about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other side, all around the camp and about two cubits deep on the surface of the ground.

32. The people spent all day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers) and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

33. While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very severe plague.

34. So the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had been greedy.
