“And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.”
And Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, one of his chosen men, said, 'My lord Moses, stop them!' — Joshua (who will succeed Moses) seeks to suppress the prophesying of Eldad and Medad. Joshua's concern is that prophecy outside the tent-structure is irregular and perhaps threatening to hierarchical order. His intervention reveals concern for Moses' exclusive authority.
