(favored of God). and Me'dad (love) two of the seventy elders to whom was communicated the prophetic power of Moses (Numbers 11:16; 11:26). (B.C. 1490) Although their names were upon the last which Moses had drawn up (Numbers 11:26) they did not repair with the rest of their brethren to the tabernacle, but continued to prophesy in the camp.
