Numbers 11:24-30

So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD; and he
gathered seventy elders of the people, and placed them all around the
tent.  Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took
some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders; and
when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied.  But they did not do so
again.

Two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad,
and the spirit rested on them; they were among those registered, but they
had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp.  And a
young man ran and told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the
camp."  And Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, one of his chosen
men, said, "My lord Moses, stop them!"  But Moses said to him, "Are you
jealous for my sake?  Would that all the LORD's people were prophets, and
that the LORD would put his spirit on them!"  And Moses and the elders of
Israel returned to the camp.
