Was Moses’ wife, Zipporah, Jewish?

Question:        Was Moses’ wife, Zipporah, Jewish?

 

Answer:          No, Zipporah was not Jewish.  All of the Israelites were in Egypt at the time Moses fled from Egypt.   Moses fled into the land of Midian; Exo. 2:15, “…..Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian…..”  Moses married a woman from the land of Midian; Exo. 2:21, “…..he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.”   Midian was probably an Ethiopian province, because Moses wife was an Ethiopian woman; Num. 12:1, “…..for he had married an Ethiopian woman.”
