Numbers 11:25
Arabic Bible ERV 2009
What Does This Mean?
In this verse, God speaks to Moses and shares some of Moses' spiritual gift with the seventy elders. This gift allows the elders to prophesy, which means they can speak God's words. The elders kept prophesying without stopping.
Explained for Children
Imagine if you had a special toy that could make you tell stories that everyone believed. One day, your friend lets you share your toy with some other friends, and now they can all tell amazing stories too. That's kind of what happened with Moses and the elders.
Historical Background
The book of Numbers was written by Moses around 1446-1406 BC. This verse describes an event where God, in a cloud, gives some of Moses' spiritual gifts to the seventy elders, allowing them to prophesy. This happened during the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land.
Living It Out Today
This verse can remind us that spiritual gifts are not just for a select few but can be shared among believers. Just as Moses shared his gift with the elders, we can also share our spiritual gifts with others to help build the church and spread God's message.
