When Joshua, out of loyalty, tried to stop others from prophesying, Moses corrected him. Commentators highlight this as a powerful example of humility. Instead of jealously guarding his authority, Moses showed he was unconcerned with personal status and rejoiced that God's Spirit was being poured out on others. His focus was on God's work, not his own position.
