Ngunit dalawang lalaki ang naiwan sa kampo; ang pangalan ng isa ay Eldad, at ang pangalan ng ikalawa ay Medad. Nanahan din sa kanila ang espiritu. Kabilang sila sa mga nakatala, ngunit hindi sila lumabas patungo sa Tolda, at nagpropesiya sila sa kampo.
Jerusalem Talmud Shevuot
Rebbi Ḥaggai objected to Rebbi Yose12This is the correct reading, also given in Yoma, not R. Yasa as in Sanhedrin.. Is there not written: The two men shall stand13Deut. 19:17.? Now, is not two the minimum of “men”? Why does the verse say two? That both be equal? But it is written14Deut. 24:17.: Do not bend the lawsuit of the proselyte, the orphan, … That means that a proselyte can have a lawsuit against one who is not a proselyte, an orphan may have a lawsuit against one who is not an orphan, a widow against a married woman. Then why is there written two? It is free to be combined and to infer from it an equal cut. It is said here two and it is said there two men were left15Num. 11:26.74. Since there one speaks of men but not women nor underaged, also here men but not women nor underaged. From this we learn that a woman may not be a judge; consequently a woman may not be a witness.
