Talk:Zipporah

message: It is clear in the Bible that Tzipporah is the Kushite wife. Took anti-black bias out.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.43.56.12 (talk • contribs) 04:15, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It isn't debated because of any percieved anti-black bias. It is debated simply because it clearly says that Zipporah is a Midianite. Midianites are not Cushites (for one thing they are substantially whiter). So either the Cushite is a different person, or Cushite is metaphorical.— Preceding unsigned comment added by FDuffy (talk • contribs) 18:46, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's pretty clear that Zipporah and the Cushite Wife aren't identical. So it seems Moses did at least took one other wife. Miriam/Aaron did not object to Zipporah it seems. God turns against Miriam/Aaron not because they had no point, but because they tried to undermine Moses. Num 12:8 makes that quite clear. In newer times people have started to make a 'racism'-debate from this. As if God 'Condemned Miriam's Racism'. He does not in fact there are several instructions in the Bible that admonishes the Israelites not to mingle with people whose genealogies were a little suspect. Previous to World War Two this was also be understood by most Christians: Races and Nations are part of the Creation Order... And the Gospel needed to be preached to 'all Nations' (ethnos) and to the 'whole of creation'. This view changed drastically after World War Two. Especially after the 1960s when Christianity was interpreted as some kind of universalist, tolerant, multicultural, diverse religion... Which it clearly isn't. 105.8.4.163 (talk) 10:53, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a credible source for Zipporah's conversion to Judaism? I can only find sources saying it is assumed she did. No apparent reference in the Old Testament. Might consider removing the list tag. Gowser (talk) 18:59, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ok, I have to ask 

message: The article connects Cush to Arabians. This is totally unsupported and misleading as Arabs were considered descendants of Sem. Moreover, there is no Scriptural support that Midianites were traced to Cush.

message: I have no real doubt that the woman in blue is Zipporah, but since this is WP, it would be nice if we could source it to something. Moses Leaving for Egypt didn´t help, but it was interesting that she and Moses appears three times in that painting. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:28, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: those crazy medieval/renaissance painters, making comics with no frames. :)  i love that actually.  also the slidey tables.Jytdog (talk) 21:07, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That was my reflection too, this is like a comicstrip. My other reflection was "Hm, should we use the far-right Zipporah instead, that could be fun? And it relates to the inn-story." And thanks for adding the ref. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:25, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
