וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לוֹ֙ מֹשֶׁ֔ה הַֽמְקַנֵּ֥א אַתָּ֖ה לִ֑י וּמִ֨י יִתֵּ֜ן כָּל־עַ֤ם יְהוָה֙ נְבִיאִ֔ים כִּי־יִתֵּ֧ן יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־רוּח֖וֹ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
Sinabi sa kanya ni Moises: “Naninibugho ka ba alang-alang sa akin? Kung maaari lamang sana na ang buong bayan ng Walang-Hanggan ay maging mga propeta, na ilagay ng Walang-Hanggan ang Kanyang espiritu sa kanila!”
Rashi
המקנא אתה לי means, “art thou envying where I should envy”.
Kli Yakar
“Are you jealous for my sake, etc.” Joshua, because he was young in days, held onto the trait of jealousy, as it is written, And Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant from his youth, answered. Due to being one of his young men, he said this, whereas if he had been an elder, advanced in days, he would not have been concerned about two companions having authority together. And therefore they said (Bava Batra 75a): “The face of Moses was like the face of the sun, and Joshua like the moon.” For just as the moon complained and said, “It is impossible for two kings to use one crown,” so too Joshua complained and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying. But Moses was like the sun that did not complain at all; thus Moses said, Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets.
