It is time that we turned to the two men, Eldad and Medad, who, although summoned with their brethren, did not come to the assembly at the Tabernacle. They may have been absent from their tents when the papyrus letter was delivered, and would not be quickly found in the vast camp.
'Alroy must die, my Lord, but dost thou think a single death will seal the covenant? 'The woman? 'Ay! the woman! I was not thinking of the woman. Asriel, Ithamar, Medad? 'Valiant soldiers! doubt not we shall find them useful instruments. I do not fear such loose companions. They follow their leaders, like other things born to obey. Having no head themselves, they must follow us who have.
'Sup you with the Lord Ithamar to-night? 'I do. 'I also. We'll go together. The Queen had gained his pardon. Hum! 'tis strange. 'Passing so. They say Abidan has escaped? 'I hear it. Shall we meet Medad to-night? ''Tis likely. The Fall of Alroy SHE comes not yet! her cheerful form, not yet it sparkles in our mournful sky.
All may yet be well, Sir. 'Let us act, not hope. Where's Abner? 'Dead. 'How? 'In battle. 'Art sure? 'I saw him fall, and fought beside him. 'A soldier's death is all our fortune now. I am glad he was not captured. Where's Medad, Ithamar? 'Fled into Egypt. 'We have no force whatever, then? 'None but your guards here. 'They are strong enough to plunder a caravan.
Wherefore no wonder if Postellus be of opinion that this use of the ball is the very same with that of the bean in Athens, or that others, by the text concerning Eldad and Medad, derive it from the Commonwealth of Israel. There is another thing, though not so material to us, that my lord will excuse me if I be not willing to yield, which is, that Venice subsists only by her situation.
Eldad and Medad were men called of God to undertake holy service for the good of His people. In their case the call was manifestly inward rather than outward. Though truly chosen, they were not in the Tabernacle, nor were they wrapped in the cloud, and they received no ordination from the laying on of hands by Moses and Aaron.
From this union sprang Eldad, "not of an aunt," and Medad, "in place of an aunt," so called by Amram to explain by these names why he had divorced his first wife, his aunt. The prophecy of these men concerning the quails turned out as they had predicted, the quails being, as God had foretold to Moses, no blessing for the people.
On the arms to the right were the images of the seven patriarchs of the world, Adam, Noah, Shem, Job, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and on the arms to the left, the images of the seven pious men of the world, Kohath, Amram, Moses, Aaron, Eldad, Medad, and the prophet Hur.
Alas! alas! he has now to guard it against fearful odds. Lord Medad bade me see the Caliph and none else, and tell your Highness, that the moment the beacon which announced the Feast of the New Moon was fired on Lebanon, the Sultan of Roum and the old Arabian Caliph unfurled the standard of their Prophet, in great array, and are now marching towards Bagdad. 'A clear conspiracy!
This unique experience was given by God, and received by the people as convincing evidence that Eldad and Medad were divinely appointed, and divinely qualified, equally with their brethren nearer the Tabernacle.
