Description
Summary:	There are references to Zipporah, the Midianite in Exodus 4 and to Moses' Cushite wife in Numbers 12. This book examines the original scriptural references themselves and then traces their interpretation in the extra-biblical literature of ancient Judaism and Christianity, demonstrating that these interpretations were colored by cultural understandings.
