Would God That All the LORD’s People Were Prophets
YHWH tells Moses to gather seventy elders and places upon them the Spirit that is on Moses so they can share the burden. Two men, Eldad and Medad, prophesy outside the gathered group, and Moses refuses Joshua’s jealousy: he wishes all YHWH’s people were prophets. Joel later turns that wish-like horizon into a promise of the Spirit poured out broadly.
Moses wishes that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit upon them; Joel later promises the Spirit poured out across sons, daughters, old, young, servants, and handmaids.
