And the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to them, and he took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but did not do so again.

26

Eldad and Medad 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.

27

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

28

Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his choice young men, said,“My lord Moses, stop them!”

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!”

30

Then Moses returned to the camp along with the elders of Israel.

Provision of Quail Now a wind went out from the LORD and brought quail from the sea, and let them fall 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 three feet high on the surface of the ground.
