Zipporah, the Midianite wife of Moses and daughter of Jethro, played a significant role in Moses’ life, particularly noted for her quick action in circumcising their son to save Moses from God’s wrath, and later reuniting with him during the Exodus.
The Midianites, descendants of Abraham’s son Midian, were a nomadic people known for their interactions with key biblical figures and their conflicts with the Israelites, most notably during the time of the Judges.
Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law and the priest of Midian, is celebrated in the biblical narrative for his crucial advice on leadership and governance, helping to establish a practical and sustainable judicial system for the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness.
