WHO WAS SECOND WIFE OF MOSES?

The inquiry into whether Moses had a second wife has long intrigued historians and biblical scholars, weaving a tapestry of interpretations around the elusive tale of a Kushite woman. As we delve into the depths of ancient texts and varying perspectives, the enigma surrounding Moses' marriages unfolds, revealing cultural complexities, historical nuances, and the intersection of faith and ethnicity. Join us on this exploration of the Second Wife of Moses, a narrative that traverses biblical chapters, historical accounts, and diverse interpretations.
"Did Moses have a second wife? The tale of Moses' second wife is a mysterious one that historians and biblical scholars have tried to understand for centuries. Numerous commentators have examined the biblical text that narrates the story of the Kushite woman. While some mention it was Zipporah, Moses' more famous wife whom we will discuss in another chapter, others allude to a different woman. In this video, we'll delve into this alternate interpretation.
This story unfolds in the Book of Numbers in chapter 12 during a conversation between Miriam and Aaron. They are rebuking Moses because he is married to a Kushite wife. Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Kushite wife, for he had married a Kushite (Numbers 12:1).
According to the biblical story in the Book of Exodus, Moses fled to Midian and married a woman named Zipporah. However, there is no mention of a Kushite woman. So where did this Kushite woman suddenly come from? The Kushite woman story is shrouded in mystery, and its interpretation takes us back to Moses' youth before he escaped from Pharaoh's house.
The initial connection with the Kushite people occurred during Moses' time in the Egyptian Palace when he was young. Moses was sent by Pharaoh on a mission to the land of Cush. Moses was tasked with leading the Egyptian armies in a war in Kush, which is now known as Ethiopia. Leading his Egyptian troops, Moses advanced towards the fortified capital city of Sheba. However, upon reaching Sheba, Moses encountered a significant challenge. The city was encircled by walls and situated on an island surrounded by the Nile River, making it inaccessible to the Egyptians.

From my own peoples history - Maori and Pacific Islander - these marriages were made regularly to strengthen relations between tribes. They were also (in this case) made as peace offerings where the daughter of chiefs would be given in marriage to stop warfare. Some chiefs would have many wives but the first wife and the first-born had the status (mana).

If we are open minded to understand scriptures, there is a possibility because 2 Timothy 3:16 gives us the understanding of scriptures,not everything we do will be in agreement with GOD but he can still use it for his own glory and honor Now that aside,we are told about Moses leaving Egypt and meeting the daughter of Jethro from Midian and eventually Zipporah comes to play,if we look at Numbers we see the mention of Ethiopia, Ethiopia and Midian are two separate countries, it leaves the possibility We also don't here much about her,just like Keturah who then bored a son called Midian where Moses got his wife Zipporah Looking at those times and era,this wasn't a surprise, maybe from the perspective o Miriam was questioning how comes Moses is leading them but his choice of spouse is not from among them If we look at this clip,removing any race bias,the possibility is there We can make choices that deem good but it's not right before GOD,however he allows his Grace but also the consequences depending on the case Abraham and Hagai is a good example,it sounded good but wasn't right or ordained but he not only allowed but also blessed the child, Ishmael, David and Bethsheba also another lesson,it wasn't right but Solomon was chosen among the sons of David,yet he was from an adulterous marriage

[@vermajeenthings2374]

[@jamesivie5717]

Why is your depiction of the Cushite woman white, since the Cushites were black. Moses lived in Egypt for 40 years, during which time he would have desired female companionship. As he was not as steeped in Hebrew tradition, a Cushite wife would not have had the same onus was when he became the leader of the Hebrew people. The Book of Jasher, which is apocryphal says he married a Cushite Also, during the time the Israelites were sojourning in the desert, Zeporah may have died and he married a Cushite. The Bible doesn't give us all the details.

[@alphason962]

Too many assumptions that cannot be proved biblically. Leprosy on Miriam does not imply she was of a different skin color than the Kushite woman. First of all, when Israel was leaving Egypt, Israel was completely a black nation as the Egyptians and the Kushites were. Just think about it: less than 140 peoply went with Jacob to Egypt, by the time they were leaving Egypt, they were at least 2 million. And mind you, the 430 years the bible talks about includes the time Abraham entered the land of Canaan till the time Israel came out of Egypt. The Septuagint translation confirms this and the Apostle Paul also stated this fact. So a proper study reveals that the Israelites were in Egypt no more than 180 years. Now by population statistics, there was no way they could have multiplied to 2 million if the people that went into Egypt with Jacob intermarried themselves only. Also God had not given them the laws preventing them from marrying people who were not Israelites. Thus they without doubt intermarried the Egyptians and probably people of other tribes and nations, but primarily the Egyptians. And since they had been enslaved, the Egyptians would marry their women, take them as concubines and produce children by them. Joseph also married the daughter of the priest of Egypt, producing the tribes of Ephraim and Mannaseh. Now mind you, in the bible days, Egypt was not occupied by the Arabians that occupy Egypt today who got there by Islamic Jihad. Egypt was a Black Empire, let's get that right before we continue. Thus by the time Israel was leaving Egypt, Israel was completely a Black Race. Thus, Moses was Black, and so was Mirriam and the Kushite woman. So the leprosy God brought on Miriam doesn't suggest anyone's skin color. Secondly, if Moses had married the Kushite woman before Zipporah, there would have been no room for complain from his brother and sister. The story itself suggsets Moses had taken a new wife who was a Kushite woman or an Ethiopian woman or if you want to be really specific like some bible versions are, she was a woman from SUDAN, yes SUDAN. In ancient times, the word Ethiopian refered to more than just present day Ethiopia. For example the Ethiopian Eunuch in the book of Acts served under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, however Candace was actually queen of Sudan, so you see, the word Ethiopian meant more than a person from present day Ethiopia. Someone may ask, why is the skin color of thevJews lighter or whiter today ? Well, exiles and being in exile in Europe for 2000 years contributed to intermarrying and obviously changing of skin color.

Moses had ONLY ONE WIFE!!!! There is nowhere in the Bible where it is written that Moses' first wife died and he remarried. It is even written that Sarah died and that Abraham remarried. We know of the wife/wives of great men of the Bible - good and notorious men. With Moses being the second greatest human figure in the entire Bible, second only to Jesus the Christ, if his wife had died and he had REMARIED, then it would have been documented. Thus, the only logical conclusion is that Moses had just one wife and she was Ethiopian (Black-skinned, as was Moses). Those images of Egyptians painted on the walls are bare-backed. One can tell that the paint has wethered and eroded that represents their flesh colors. There remains hyperpigmented spotting within the parts that represent their skin as well as hyperpimented coloring of the skin borders. It makes sense because all of the ancient human figures in the Bible lived in a part of the word where hypermelanated people thrived under the ultraviolet rays of an intense sun. That is why leprosy, hypo-pigmentation, was such scare to the people who contracted leprosy. Those accompanying skin lesions were more likely than not cancerous and precancerous skin lesions. Even Adam and Eve - were made out of the mud (so to speak).

These are the documented accounts of the Hebrews in Biblical times by the peoples and nations in contact with them, And this is the truth of the matter. No majesty rather enslavement . No delusions of granger rather a defeated hated tribe. The real glory of the Hebrew Jews was when they aided the Persians in their siege of Babylon by slipping them into the city and in return the Persians freed those slaves restoring them to Jerusalem propagating their seniority as agents of Persian rule. The irony is that after a full spin of time these Persians turned into Muslims bent today on destroying their crated Myth. Now that is a story
