Medad (Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness)
He was one of the seventy elders chosen to share the load with Moses, and when the Spirit came on them, he and Eldad prophesied out in the camp instead of at the tent of meeting. Joshua wanted them stopped. Moses said he wished all the Lord's people were prophets.

Medad was one of seventy elders appointed to share the burden of leading Israel with Moses; when the Spirit came upon the group, he and his companion Eldad prophesied in the camp rather than at the tent of meeting with the others (Numbers 11:26-27). Joshua wanted Moses to stop them, but Moses answered that he wished all the Lord's people were prophets (Numbers 11:28-29). Nothing else is recorded of him.
