Meet Zipporah.

Moses' wife from Midian.

Zipporah: a quiet historically appropriate setting for Moses' wife from Midian, with simple understated contextual details; no invented dramatic event

Who was Zipporah?

Zipporah was a daughter of the priest of Midian and became Moses' wife. She appears in family episodes during his life before and after the call to Egypt. Some surrounding passages need careful adult explanation.

Exodus introduces Zipporah within the household that welcomed Moses after he left Egypt. The family context helps us remember that Moses' story involved other people's lives too.
