Targum Onkelos
וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ מֹשֶׁה הֲקִנְאֲתִי אַתְּ מְקַנֵּי רְעֵינָא פוֹן דִּיהוֹן כָּל עַמֵּיהּ דַּייָ נְבִיִּין אֲרֵי יִתֵּין יְיָ יָת רוּחַ נְבוּאֲתֵיהּ עֲלֵיהוֹן׃
Moshe said to him, “Are you vengeful for me? Would (that) it be that all Adonoy’s people were prophets, that Adonoy would give His Spirit upon them.”
