1 | Who was Zipporah father | Ex 2:21 | Emmaus | 111648 | ||
EdB, Here are the Notes from th NAB on Num,ber 12:1-2 which indicate in this case that Cushite is synonymous with Midianite and that Miriam was speaking about Ziipporah. So the use of the the word Cushite is confusing here. "1 [1] Cushite woman: apparently Zipporah, the Midianitess, is meant; cf Exodus 2:21. Perhaps the term is used here merely in the sense of "despised foreigner." "2 [2] The real reason for Miriam's quarrel with her brother Moses was her jealousy of his superior position; his Cushite wife served only as an occasion for the dispute. Aaron merely followed his sister in her rebellion; hence she alone was punished." Emmaus |

Emmaus This seems to contradict what you first said. That Zipporah was Midianite and after she died Moses married an Ethopian. EB |

Ed, I was surprised when I read the footnote. I always thought of the passage as Moses taking another wife sometime during the years in the desert. Just shows what a good question can turn up. I think Zipporah was a Midianite. The question is are Midianites also being called Cushites here or are we speaking of another wife. Emmaus |

Emmaus I really think Midianites are a sub group of the Cannanites which is an north and east of Israel. Ethiopians are a sub group of the Cushnites which was south and west of Egypt. EdB |
