Numbers 11:25
Douay-Rheims
And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, taking away of the spirit that was in Moses, and giving to the seventy men. And when the spirit had rested on them they prophesied, nor did they cease afterwards.
George Leo Haydock
Afterwards. Some give a contrary meaning to the Hebrew, with the Septuagint, Syriac, &c.: “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 Kings x. 5, 10. (Menochius)
