📚 Historical Context
This occurred when Moses had gathered seventy elders to help him lead the Israelites, and God's Spirit came upon them to prophesy. Eldad and Medad were among the chosen seventy but had remained in the camp rather than going to the tabernacle with the others, yet the Spirit still came upon them there. The young messenger seemed concerned about this irregular situation happening outside the official gathering.
