Denkm. 88. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and דּוֹד (dod, meaning "beloved" or "love").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Eldad, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. However, the concept of prophecy and the Spirit of God can be related to various Greek terms used in the New Testament, such as προφήτης (prophetēs, Strong's Greek 4396) for "prophet" and πνεῦμα (pneuma, Strong's Greek 4151) for "spirit." Usage: Eldad is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Eldad is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Numbers. He is one of the seventy elders chosen by Moses to assist in leading the Israelites during their wilderness journey. Eldad, along with Medad, is noted for prophesying in the camp, an event that occurs in Numbers 11:26-29. Despite not being present at the tent of meeting where the Spirit rested upon the other elders, Eldad and Medad received the Spirit and prophesied, which led to Joshua's concern and Moses' famous response: "Are you jealous on my account? If only all the LORD’s people were prophets and the LORD would place His Spirit on them!" (Numbers 11:29, BSB). This incident highlights the theme of God's sovereignty in bestowing His Spirit and the inclusivity of His gifts beyond formal structures.
