Zipporah is a model of courage, wisdom and devotion. She supported her husband in his noble mission and protected her family in difficult times. Thank you for your bible stories explained.
In a society where women are often undervalued and forgotten, Zipporah's story is a reminder of their strength and contributions. Let's celebrate the women around us who are silently contributing to their families and society. ❤
Indeed, in a society where women are sometimes undervalued and forgotten, the story of Sipora reminds us of their strength, wisdom, and their quiet but incredibly important contributions.
Zipporah, daughter of the priest Midian, married Moses during his exile. Her courageous act of circumcising her son (Exodus 4:24-26), though somewhat mysterious, reveals her to be a woman of determination and strong faith. Some scholars believe that Zipporah’s action saved Moses from God’s wrath, underscoring her pivotal role in protecting her husband’s mission. Zipporah’s story raises interesting questions about the role of women in the Bible and the complex relationships between different cultures.
May God bless you as you continue to study the Bible and its wonderful people. May God enlighten you so that you may better understand His faith and love. Amen.
In the video, I focused on the story of Moses' Cushite wife and its theological significance, so I didn't go into much of the historical context. The skin color of the people in ancient Egypt in North Africa was very diverse, from the darker-skinned people in the south (Nubia) to the lighter-skinned people in the north. The fact that the Bible describes Moses' wife as a Cushite shows that ethnic diversity has existed since ancient times. Thank you for helping to enrich the topic of the video. May God continue to bless you and make many interesting discoveries in your Bible studies.
@BibleStories868 You can't say you want to go into the scriptures and teach the moral and spiritual lessons without teaching the historical facts about who are what the people were/ or in fact their true identity ( because remember if you're teaching the word of God teach all the facts ) "Let God be true and every man a liar... Please teach all the truth and not the ones you're most comfortable telling
@@jimmirexhaggins I also take your reminder of 'let God be true and everyone else be a liar' very seriously. It reminds me of the great responsibility I have to convey God's word truthfully and completely. If there is anything I have not conveyed completely, I always welcome your contributions to make the content on the channel more accurate and comprehensive. Once again, thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. I hope that together we can learn and share more about the Scriptures and the historical truths behind the stories.
Not entirely true. In the Bible, Moses had at least two wives. His first wife was Zipporah, daughter of Jethro, mentioned in the book of Exodus. Also, in Numbers 12:1, there is a mention of another wife of Moses, a Cushite (Ethiopian) woman.
@@peachesb-georgia1125 it was not the same woman for The first wife's son's went into the promised land and the sons from the cushite woman were given gifts and sent away. A Cushite is not a Midian...... The first wife was Arab and the second wife was Black. She also was not the same color that Moses and his siblings were. Now if you read your old books you would know all this stuff......
@sarahwaters10sw The Arabs/Midians Isrealites/ Cush/ Egyptians are damn near the same color🤬🤣🤣🤣🤣 For example when Joseph was in Egypt and his brothers came looking for food they didn't even recognize him at 1st glance/ When Moses met his 1st wife she told her father she met an Egyptian/ Some of the commandment when they left Egypt was not to cut their hair and beards like the Egyptians so you very well tell who was an Isrealile from the Egyptian. In the book of Acts in the NT the Roman soldier mistake Paul the Apostle for an Egyptian. Abraham came from Ur which was in modern day Iran. The thing that separated the nations then was not color it was customs culture and religion and the different gods they worship not color of skin....The main custom that separated Isreal men was circumcision
Wait just one minute please I mean if and only if Moses wfe was as pale skin in as in your depicted video Moses himself broke one of the commandments to God by taking a Caanite woman for his 2nd wife in which Aaron and Miriam were upset about because the Isreal men were prohibited from marriage of outside the nation of their fathers? OR was his 1st wife the same color as his 2nd wife?
First, it should be made clear that the Bible does not describe Moses’ wife’s skin color in detail. Zipporah, Moses’ first wife, was a Midianite, a people who lived near Egypt and were likely darker-skinned than the Israelites. The Bible also mentions a Cushite wife of Moses, and Cush is generally understood to be the land of Nubia south of Egypt, where the people were dark-skinned. Whether Moses violated the commandment by marrying a Canaanite requires consideration of the historical and cultural context. In Moses’ time, intermarriage with foreigners was not strictly forbidden. The commandment against intermarriage with Canaanites was issued later, during the settlement of Canaan, to prevent cultural and religious mixing. However, Aaron and Miriam’s criticism of Moses for his Cushite wife may have been related to concerns about her influence on Moses’ leadership or the purity of the Israelite lineage.
@BibleStories868 You made my point comparison to the thumbnail to the video in question if and only if Moses 1st wife was more darker colored than what's in the video.(I'm not a racist person I'm more a person that wants a more accurate depiction of what the scripture depicted) Then if what you say is correct then what was Moses color for him to pick 2 women for wives ? Because if the Kushite woman was dark and as you say Zaporhia was dark then How in the hell the people living in present said area today so damn light?.....
@@jimmirexhaggins Information about the Kushite wife is generally understood to mean that she came from the land of Kush, located in northeastern Africa, where people tend to have darker skin. Meanwhile, Zippora, Moses' first wife, came from the region of Midian (today's Arabian Peninsula), and we don't have much information about her skin color from ancient texts. How the people living in this area today appear lighter may have to do with the mixing of cultures and populations over the centuries, due to migrations, trade, and political changes in the region. This has caused the ethnicity and appearance of the people to change over time.

Wow they are awful pale skin for ancient egypt north african area😮
Are you talking about the people in this video?

Yes of course
