This is for him. The Queen accompanies us. She is his charge. These papers for the Vizir. Let the troops be under arms by daybreak. This order of the day for the Lord Asriel. Send this instantly to Hamadan. Is the Tatar despatched to Medad? 'Tis well. You have done your duty. Now to rest. Pharez? 'My lord. 'I shall not sleep to-night. Give me my drink. Go rest, good boy. I have no wants.
The same Divine Spirit who qualifies for religious work, creates men anew. Of every one so created, it may be said he was "born of the Spirit." In this, also, neither place nor circumstance is essential. Eldad and Medad were both away from the Tabernacle, somewhere in the unconsecrated camp; yet they received the same blessing which their brethren were enjoying at the door of the Tabernacle.
Then will all the dead among Israel arise and rejoice in the good that at the beginning of the world was laid up for them, and will receive the reward for their good deeds." When Gershon, Moses' son, heard these prophecies of Eldad and Medad, he hurried to his father and told him of them.
When Moses had completed the appointment of the elders and had asked them to accompany him to the Tabernacle, there to receive the Holy Spirit, Eldad and Medad, two of these elders, in their humility, did not obey his summons, but hid themselves, deeming themselves unworthy of this distinction. God rewarded them for their humility by distinguishing them five-fold above the other elders.
I observed with satisfaction that the village boys did not make fun of me when I passed them as they did when I wore the petticoat trousers. Mr. and Mrs. Wright came along with the crowd, by and by, and Colonel Medad Moody. We had supper with them at the tavern and started away in the dark with the Senator on the seat with us.
It is my wish that thou mayest be honored as much as I have been and that all Israel be honored like thee." Eldad and Medad were distinguished not only by their prophetic gift, but also by their noble birth, being half-brothers of Moses and Aaron.
These prophesied what would take place on the following day, announcing the appearance of the quails, but Eldad and Medad prophesied what was still veiled in the distant future. The elders prophesied only on this one day, but Eldad and Medad retained the gift for life. The elders died in the desert, whereas Eldad and Medad were the leaders of the people after the death of Joshua.
It is a comfort to remember this when we grieve over some prodigal, who has gone beyond the reach of religious observances; who never attends worship, or reads the Bible. We may hope about him, believe in him, and pray for him still, because the Spirit of God can reach him as He reached Eldad and Medad, "who went not up to the Tabernacle."
Medad, on a coal-black Arab, followed by three hundred officers of his division, all mounted on steeds of pure race. Slaves, bearing the bridal present of Medad; six Damascus sabres of unrivalled temper. Twelve choice steeds, sumptuously caparisoned, each led by an Anatolian groom. The household of Ithamar, in robes of violet, lined with ermine. The standard of Ithamar.
Six men out of each of the twelve tribes were summoned to the Tabernacle, solemnly set apart and filled with the Spirit but two of the men Eldad and Medad were absent "They were of them written to" is the exact phrase and the fact that they received a written summons denotes a higher and more general culture among that ancient people than is generally imagined to have existed.
