Eldad and Medad
11:26 But two men remained in the camp ; one’s name was Eldad , and the other’s name was Medad . And the spirit rested on them. (Now they were among those in the registration , but had not gone to the tabernacle .) So they prophesied in the camp .
11:27 And a young man ran and told Moses , “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp !”
11:28 Joshua son of Nun , the servant of Moses , one of his choice young men , said , “My lord Moses , stop them!”
11:29 Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for me? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets , that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!”
11:30 Then Moses returned to the camp along with the elders of Israel .
