Numbers 11:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 11:27

25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, ^awhen the Spirit rested upon them, that ^bthey prophesied, although they never did so again.

26 But two men had remained in the camp: the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. Now they were among those listed, but who ^ahad not gone out to the tabernacle; yet they prophesied in the camp.

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.
