4. Mosebok 11,29

Moses
Envy and jealousyThe Holy SpiritProphecyHumility

27 En ung mann skyndte seg til Moses og informerte ham: “Eldad og Medad profeterer i leiren.”

28 Josva, Nuns sønn, som hadde vært Moses’ assistent fra sin ungdom, talte opp og sa: “Moses, min herre, stopp dem!”

Men Moses svarte: “Er du bekymret på mine vegne? Jeg skulle ønske at hele Herrens folk var profeter og at Herren ville legge sin Ånd på dem!”

30 Deretter vendte Moses og Israels eldste tilbake til leiren.

31 En vind gikk ut fra Herren og brakte vaktler fra havet, og lot dem falle ved siden av leiren, omtrent en dags reise på den ene siden og en dags reise på den andre siden, rundt leiren, omtrent to alen dypt på bakken.
