The Spirit Rests upon the Elders

¹⁶ Yahweh therefore said to Moses, “Gather for Me ^(A)seventy men from the elders of Israel, ^(B)whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers, and take them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you. ^17 (C)Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of ^(D)the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone. ¹⁸ And say to the people, ‘^(E)Set yourselves apart as holy for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept ^(F)in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Oh that someone would give us meat to eat! For it was good for us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you shall eat.
