Scripture connection: Numbers 11:24–26 — So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD. And he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tent. Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the Spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied. But they did not continue doing it. Now two men remained in the camp, the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other was Medad, and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp.

Memory hook: 70 = Num 11:24–26 — Eldad one of the seventy elders; one named person who prophesied in the camp. The number 70 is the elders and the Spirit.

Why this number? 70 = Num 11:24–26 — Eldad one of the 70 elders; one named person. Eldad prophesied in the camp when the Spirit rested on the seventy; the number 70 ties him to the event.
