   In Numbers 11:26, the proper noun identifies the second of two men who remained in the camp; the APB renders the clause, “the name of the second was Medad,” and later reports that they prophesied there. In Numbers 11:27, the same proper noun occurs in the report to Moses that “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Medad” in both verses, first in identifying one of the two men and then in reporting his prophesying with Eldad. It confirms the narrative identification rather than supplying a lexical definition.
