Bible Question: Who was Zipporah father |
Bible Answer: Mes, Zipporah was the daughter of Reuel, the priest of Midian, the land whence Moses had fled Pharoah's wrath. (Exodus 2:15-2:25). Reuel also had another name, Jethro (3:1); the former means "friend of God", the latter possibly "his excellency". (Source: NIV) Zipporah and her family were Ethiopian. She is also mentioned in Exodus 4:25; 18:2. Jethro is also mentioned in Exo 4:18 and in most of Chapter 8. Colin |
