Commentary for Sanhedrin 33:16
מאי כלאם א"ל הטל עליהן צרכי ציבור והן כלין מאיליהן:
whereas there<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In the case of Eldad and Medad, Num. XI, 27. ');"><sup>26</sup></span> it is stated, [they] were prophesying,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [H] (participle). ');"><sup>27</sup></span>
Tosafot on Sanhedrin
"and they will cease on their own" -- the interpretation is that their prophecy will cease, because the Shechinah does not descend in the midst of sadness, but rather in the midst of joy.
