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.

28 Et Josué, fils de Nun, serviteur de Moïse depuis sa jeunesse, prit la parole et dit: Moïse, mon seigneur, empêche-les!

29 Moïse lui répondit: Es-tu jaloux pour moi? Puisse tout le peuple de l’Éternel être composé de prophètes; et veuille l’Éternel mettre son esprit sur eux!

30 Et Moïse se retira au camp, lui et les anciens d’Israël.
