Bilangan 11:26

Eldad and Medad

11:26 But two men remained in the camp; one’s name was Eldad, and the other’s name was Medad. And the spirit rested on them. (Now they were among those in the registration, ¹  but had not gone to the tabernacle.) So they prophesied in the camp.

Bilangan 24:2

24:2 When Balaam lifted up his eyes, he saw Israel camped tribe by tribe; ²  and the Spirit of God came upon him.

Hakim-hakim 3:10

3:10 The Lord’s spirit empowered him ³  and he led Israel. When he went to do battle, the Lord handed over to him King Cushan-Rishathaim of Aram and he overpowered him. ⁴ 

Hakim-hakim 3:1

3:1 These were the nations the Lord permitted to remain so he could use them to test Israel – he wanted to test all those who had not experienced battle against the Canaanites. ⁵ 

1 Samuel 10:10

10:10 When Saul and his servant ⁶  arrived at Gibeah, a company of prophets was coming out to meet him. Then the spirit of God rushed upon Saul ⁷  and he prophesied among them.

[11:26]  ¹ tn The form of the word is the passive participle כְּתֻבִים (kÿtuvim, “written”). It is normally taken to mean “among those registered,” but it is not clear if that means they were to be among the seventy or not. That seems unlikely since there is no mention of the seventy being registered, and vv. 24-25 says all seventy went out and prophesied. The registration may be to eldership, or the role of the officer.

[24:2]  ² tn Heb “living according to their tribes.”

[3:10]  ³ tn Heb “was on him.”

[3:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “his hand was strong against Cushan-Rishathaim.”

[3:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “did not know the wars of Canaan.”

[10:10]  ⁶ tc Two medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, and the Syriac Peshitta have the singular “he” (in which case the referent would be Saul alone).

[10:10]  tn Heb “they”; the referents (Saul and his servant) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
