26 Now there had remained in the camp two of the men, of whom one was called Eldad, and the other Medad, upon whom the Spirit rested; for they also had been enrolled, but they did not go forth to the tabernacle.
27 And when they were prophesying in the camp, a boy ran and reported to Moses, saying: 'Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp.'
28 Promptly, Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses and chosen from many, said: 'My lord Moses, prohibit them.'
29 But he said, 'Why are you jealous on my behalf? Who decides that any of the people may prophesy and that God may give to them his Spirit?'
30 And Moses returned, with those greater by birth of Israel, into the camp.
