We see further in Numbers 11 that although the leaders of the tribe, the 70, were endowed at Moses request with the HS, two others, Eldad and Medad (both meaning beloved) received Him also. Even if these 70 could be called a magisterium, the lesson is that HS rests on anyone He pleases.

I remember reading this just a couple of days ago. Actually, Moses asked to die. It was God who told Moses what He would do:

Num 11:14-17 "I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me. So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my wretchedness." The LORD therefore said to Moses, "Gather for Me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you. Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone."

There is a great truth to this if people wish to see it:

Num 11:29 But Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD'S people were prophets, that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!"
