26 And two men remained in the camp, the name of the one Eldad, and the name of the second, Medad: and the spirit will encamp upon them; and they among those being written, and they will not go forth to the tent, and they will prophesy in the camp.

27 And a young man will run and announce to Moses, and he will say, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.

28 And Joshua, son of Nun, serving Moses from his chosen, will answer and say, My lord Moses, restrain them.

29 And Moses will say to him, Thou envying for me; and who will give all the people of Jehovah prophets? when Jehovah will give his spirit upon them.

30 And Moses will take himself into the camp, he and the old men of Israel.

31 And a spirit removed from Jehovah and it will divide out the quails from the sea, and will cast upon the camp, as the way of a day hither, and the way of a day thither, round about the camp, and as two cubits upon the face of the earth.

32 And the people will rise up all that day and all the night, and all the day of the morrow, and will gather the quails: the few gathered ten homers; and they will spread for themselves a spreading round about the camp.

33 And the flesh yet between their teeth, before it shall be withdrawn and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah will smite upon them an exceeding great blow.

34 And he will call the name of that place, The Graves of Longings, for there they buried the people longing.

35 From the Graves of Longings the people removed to the enclosures, and they shall be in the enclosures.
