25. The Lord descended in a cloud, spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was on him and placed it on the seventy elders. When the spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but only this once.
26. Two men had remained in the camp, one named Eldad and the second named Medad, and the spirit rested on them. They were among those registered, but they hadn’t gone out to the tent, so they prophesied in the camp.
27. A young man ran and told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."
28. Joshua, Nun’s son and Moses’ assistant since his youth, responded, "My master Moses, stop them!"
29. Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? If only all the Lord’s people were prophets with the Lord placing his spirit on them!"
30. Moses and Israel’s elders were assembled in the camp.
31. A wind from the Lord blew up and brought quails from the sea. It let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey all around the camp and about three feet deep on the ground.
32. Then the people arose and gathered the quail all that day, all night, and all the next day. The least collected was ten homers, and they laid them out around the camp.
33. While the meat was still between their teeth and not yet consumed, the Lord’s anger blazed against the people. The Lord struck the people with a very great punishment.
