Numeri 11:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 11:27

And there ran a young man
From the camp to the tabernacle, who had heard Eldad and Medad prophesy; which he thought was not right, being done without the knowledge and approbation of Moses, and in a private tent in the tabernacle, not among the elders, but the common people: who this young than was is not material to know; some of the Rabbins, as Jarchi says, affirm he was Gershon the son of Moses; whoever he was, no doubt, it was with a good design, consulting the glory of God and the honour of Moses, and therefore in great haste ran to him with the information:

and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp;
who seem by this, to be persons well known, and of some note and figure; since not only the young man could call them by their names, but there needed no other description of them to Moses and those with him.

Numeri 11:27 In-Context

25 E l’Eterno scese nella nuvola e gli parlò; prese dello spirito ch’era su lui, e lo mise sui settanta anziani; e avvenne che quando lo spirito si fu posato su loro, quelli profetizzarono, ma non continuarono.
26 Intanto, due uomini, l’uno chiamato Eldad e l’altro Medad, erano rimasti nel campo, e lo spirito si posò su loro; erano fra gl’iscritti, ma non erano usciti per andare alla tenda; e profetizzarono nel campo.
27 Un giovine corse a riferire la cosa a Mosè, e disse: "Eldad e Medad profetizzano nel campo".
28 Allora Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun, servo di Mosè dalla sua giovinezza, prese a dire: "Mosè, signor mio, non glielo permettere!"
29 Ma Mosè gli rispose: "Sei tu geloso per me? Oh! fossero pur tutti profeti nel popolo dell’Eterno, e volesse l’Eterno metter su loro lo spirito suo!"
