Usage: Medad is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Medad is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Numbers. He is one of the seventy elders chosen by Moses to assist in leading the Israelites. In Numbers 11:26-29, Medad, along with Eldad, is noted for prophesying in the camp. This event occurs when the Spirit of the Lord rests upon them, even though they had not gone to the Tent of Meeting with the other elders. Joshua, Moses' assistant, expresses concern about their prophesying, but Moses responds by expressing a wish that all the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them.
