24. So Moses went out and told the people Adonai’s words. He gathered 70 of the elders of the people and had them stand around the Tent.
25. Adonai descended in the cloud and spoke with him. He took some of the Ruach that was on him and placed it on each of the 70 elders. It so happened that when the Ruach first rested on them, they prophesied—but never again.
26. Two men, however, had remained in the camp. The name of one was Eldad and the name of the other was Medad. The Ruach rested on them. They were among those listed, but they had not gone out to the Tent. So they prophesied in the camp.
27. A young man ran and told Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!”
28. Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses since his youth, cried out and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”
29. But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous on my behalf? If only Adonai would make all the people prophets! If only Adonai would put the Spirit on all of them!”
30. Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
31. Now a wind went out from Adonai and drove quails from the sea. He brought them into the camp to about a day’s journey in any direction, about two cubits above the ground all around the camp.
