E
Numbers 11:16,17,25,26,29
And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee. And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and did not cease. But there remained two of the men in the camp the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; . . . .
And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
I also believe scripture. We both quoted scripture - which is the truth? Could there have been something in the translation? Why would God say "upon" in some places and "within" in others in the OT?
Then in the gospels Jesus teaches that he had to go away for the Comforter to come - the Comforter being the Holy Spirit - but NOT YET because he was not glorified. - I believe that the new birth is when the Spirit comes and lives "within" a person.
