Numbers 11:25 in Context — Numbers 11

23 L’Éternel répondit à Moïse: La main de l’Éternel serait-elle trop courte? Tu verras maintenant si ce que je t’ai dit arrivera ou non.

24 Moïse sortit, et rapporta au peuple les paroles de l’Éternel. Il assembla soixante-dix hommes des anciens du peuple, et les plaça autour de la tente.

25 L’Éternel descendit dans la nuée, et parla à Moïse; il prit de l’esprit qui était sur lui, et le mit sur les soixante-dix anciens. Et dès que l’esprit reposa sur eux, ils prophétisèrent; mais ils ne continuèrent pas.

26 Il y eut deux hommes, l’un appelé Eldad, et l’autre Médad, qui étaient restés dans le camp, et sur lesquels l’esprit reposa; car ils étaient parmi les inscrits, quoiqu’ils ne fussent point allés à la tente; et ils prophétisèrent dans le camp.

27 Un jeune garçon courut l’annoncer à Moïse, et dit: Eldad et Médad prophétisent dans le camp.
