1 | Was the cushite the first wife or 2nd?? | Ex 2:20 | Deona | 157254 | ||
No, the bible clearly states that there were two wives, one was Zipporah and the other a cushite woman, in which Mariann had a problem with her being her sister-in-law. What was the cushite woman's name and were there any children? | ||||||
2 | Was the cushite the first wife or 2nd?? | Ex 2:20 | SBoone | 157259 | ||
Greetings, I'm not sure how clear the Bible is on that point. I assume you are referring to Num. 12:1. Many commentators feel this actually refers to Zipporah. I tend to think this is the case. In Ex 2:16-19 Jethro is mentioned as a Priest in Midian. This would make him a descendant of Abraham. Zipporah shows her disapproval of the circumcision process. Could this indicate that her mother was not of the seed of Abraham. Possibly even Cushite (African or Asian). If you believe that it is a second wife, I'm not aware of any other Biblical detail as to who she is or whether or not they had children. Also, I failed to mention Moses second son Eliezer (Ex 18:3,4). God bless, SBoone |
