25
The LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 25. Afterwards. Some give a contrary meaning to the Heb., with the Sept., Syr., and so forth: “They prophesied, (on that occasion) but they did not continue” to do so; except when they were favoured with the influence of the spirit. When it was requisite, they were enabled to declare God’s will and his praise to the people. Calmet.—Saul is said to have prophesied when he praised God, 1 Kennicott. 10:5. 10. Menochius.
