<p> ''''' mē´dad ''''' ( מידד , <i> ''''' mēdhādh ''''' </i> , "affectionate"): One of the 70 elders on whom the spirit of the Lord came in the days of [[Moses]] enabling them to prophesy. [[Medad]] and one other, Eldad, began to prophesy in the camp, away from the other elders who had assembled at the door of the tabernacle to hear God's message. Joshua suggested that [[Eldad]] and Medad be stopped, but Moses interceded on their behalf, saying, "Would that all Yahweh's people were prophets!" ( Numbers 11:26-29 ). The subject-matter of their prophecy has been variously supplied by tradition. Compare the [[Palestine]] [[Targums]] at the place, the apocalyptic Book of Eldad and Modad, and <i> '''''Ba‛al''''' </i> <i> '''''ha''''' </i> - <i> '''''ṭūrı̄m''''' </i> (ad loc.). </p> | <p> See [[Eldad]] . </p> | ||

<p> MEDAD and ELDAD </p> <p> —we read of these men on whom the [[Spirit]] of the Lord came, Numbers 11:26-27. If the former name be derived from Madad, it means he that measures; but more probably it is a compound word of Me, waters—and Duad, love. [[Eldad]] is a compound also of El, God; and Dod, love. A reference to the [[Scripture]] will give their history, which is but short. </p> | |||

<p> Me´dad and El´dad, two of the seventy elders who were nominated to assist [[Moses]] in the government of the people, but who remained in the camp, probably as modestly deeming themselves unfit for the office, when the others presented themselves at the Tabernacle. The [[Divine]] spirit, however, rested on them even there, 'and they prophesied in the camp' . The [[Targum]] of [[Jonathan]] alleges that these two men were brothers of Moses and [[Aaron]] by the mother's side. </p> | |||

<p> (Hebrews Meydad', מֵידָד, low; Sept. Μωδάδ), a person mentioned in connection with Eidad, as two of the seventy elders who were nominated to assist [[Moses]] in the government of the people, but who remained in the camp, probably as modestly deeming themselves unfit for the office, when the others presented themselves at the tabernacle. The divine Spirit, however, rested on them even there, "and they prophesied in the camp" (Numbers 11:24-29). The [[Targum]] of [[Jonathan]] alleges that these two men were brothers of Moses and [[Aaron]] by the mother's side, being sons of [[Jochebed]] and Elizaphan. BC. 1657. (See [[Eldad]]). </p> | |||
