Subject: Was the cushite the first wife or 2nd?? |
Bible Note: 'Cushite' a euphemistic reference Deona and DocTrinsograce: I have found more information on this question. Following is a quote from THE CHUMASH (The Torah: With A Commentary Anthologized From the Rabbinic Writings), The Stone Edition, Mesorah Publications, Ltd., Brooklyn, New York, Copyright 1998, 2000. The following excerpt is from commentary on Numbers 12:1, quoted from the writings of Rashi. ("Rashi --Acronym for R' Shlomo Yitzchaki (1040-1105), considered the commentator par excellence. Rashi's commentary on the Pentateuch as well as his commentary on the Talmud are considered absolutely basic to the understanding of the text to this very day.") Rashi wrote: "The Cushite [lit., Ethiopian] woman. Zipporah was from Midian, not Ethiopia. The description of her as a Cushite was a euphemistic reference to her great beauty." I highly recommend THE CHUMASH: The Stone Edition to anyone interested in either Judaism or the Jewish roots of Christianity. Grace to you, Kalos |
