Where Medad appears in Scripture

Numbers 11

וַיִּשָּֽׁאֲרוּ שְׁנֵֽי-אֲנָשִׁים׀ בַּֽמַּחֲנֶה שֵׁם הָֽאֶחָד׀ אֶלְדָּד וְשֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִי מֵידָד וַתָּנַח עֲלֵהֶם הָרוּחַ וְהֵמָּה בַּכְּתֻבִים וְלֹא יָֽצְאוּ הָאֹהֱלָה וַיִּֽתְנַבְּאוּ בַּֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
26
But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
וַיָּרָץ הַנַּעַר וַיַּגֵּד לְמֹשֶׁה וַיֹּאמַר אֶלְדָּד וּמֵידָד מִֽתְנַבְּאִים בַּֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
27
And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
