And Moses
said: six hundred thousand footmen are there of the people, among
which I am. And thou hast said: I will give them flesh and they
shall eat a month long. Shall the sheep and the oxen be slain for
them to find them, either shall all the fish of the sea be
gathered together to serve them? And the LORD {Lorde} said unto
Moses: is the LORD's {lordes} hand waxed short? Thou shalt see
whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. And Moses
went out and told the people the saying of the LORD, and gathered
the seventy elders of the people, and set them round about the
tabernacle. And the LORD came down in a cloud and spake unto him,
and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the
seventy elders. And as the spirit rested upon them, they
prophesied and did nought else. But there remained two of the men
in the host: the one called Eldad, and the other Medad. And the
spirit rested upon them for they were of them that were written,
but they went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in
the host. And there ran a young man and told Moses and said: Eldad
and Medad do prophesy in the host. And Iosua the son of Nun the
servant of Moses which he had chosen out, answered and said:
master Moses, forbid them.
