Numbers 11:27-29
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
27 And a young man ran to Moses and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying [sounding forth the praises of God and declaring His will] in the camp.
28 Joshua son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, said, My lord Moses, forbid them!
29 But Moses said to him, Are you [a]envious or jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!(A)

- Numbers 11:29 “Moses, the minister of God, rebukes our partial love,/ Who envy at the gifts bestow’d on those we disapprove./ We do not our own spirit know, who wish to see suppressed,/ The men that Jesus’ spirit show, the men whom God hath blest” (Charles Wesley).
