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.

31 L’Éternel fit souffler de la mer un vent, qui amena des cailles, et les répandit sur le camp, environ une journée de chemin d’un côté et environ une journée de chemin de l’autre côté, autour du camp. Il y en avait près de deux coudées au-dessus de la surface de la terre.
