Numbers 11:29

Numbers 11:29

27 And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

28 So Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, one of his choice men, answered and said, “Moses my lord, ^aforbid them!”

29 Then Moses said to him, “Are you¹ zealous for my sake? ^aOh, that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”

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

The Lord Sends Quail

31 Now a ^awind went out from the Lord, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Numbers 11:28

Numbers 11:30 >>

Enviest thou for my sake - Art thou grieved because the gifts and graces of God are imparted to others besides me? Prophets - He saith prophets, not rulers, for that he knew was absurd and impossible. So we ought to be pleased, that God is glorified and good done, tho' to the lessening of our own honour.
