Who this is

Eldad was one of the seventy elders Moses appointed to help bear the burden of leading Israel. When the Spirit rested on the elders at the tent of meeting, Eldad and his companion Medad, who had remained in the camp, also prophesied there; when Joshua urged Moses to stop them, Moses responded by wishing that all the LORD's people were prophets (Numbers 11:24-29).
