And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread. And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
She told her the reason, and added, "Blessed are the women who behold with their eyes how their husbands are raised to dignity." Zipporah answered, "It would be more proper to say, 'Woe to the wives of these men who must now abstain from all conjugal happiness!" Miriam: "How does thou know this?"
Thereupon Jethro gave much money to Moses, and he bestowed his daughter Zipporah upon him as wife, giving her to him under the condition that the children born of the marriage in Jethro's house should be divided into two equal classes, the one to be Israelitish, the other Egyptian.
After the revelation of the Burning Bush, Jehovah met Moses and his Kenite wife, Zipporah, and their child, at a khan. Jehovah was anxious to slay Moses, nobody ever knew why, so Zipporah appeased Jehovah's wrath by circumcising her boy with a flint. 'A bloody husband art thou to me, she said, 'because of the circumcision' an Egyptian, but clearly not a Kenite practice.
"O neighbour O Mr. Deans, it's a sair trial, doubtless but think of the Rock of Ages, neighbour think of the promise!" "And I do think of it, neighbours and I bless God that I can think of it, even in the wrack and ruin of a' that's nearest and dearest to me But to be the father of a castaway a profligate a bloody Zipporah a mere murderess!
The Jews seem to have performed the rite of circumcision with flint implements, for we read in Exodus that Zipporah, the wife of Moses, took a sharp stone for that purpose; and the phrase translated "sharp knives" in Joshua v. 2 "At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time" should be translated, as in the marginal reference, knives of flint.
Of the two frescoes there, formerly attributed to him, it is now no longer doubted that one "The Journey of Moses and Zipporah" is by Pintorricchio, and the opinion is gradually gaining ground that the other "The Death of Moses" although much nearer to Signorelli's style, is not sufficiently so as to permit us to accept it as his work.
"O neighbour O Mr. Deans, it's a sair trial, doubtless but think of the Rock of Ages, neighbour think of the promise!" "And I do think of it, neighbours and I bless God that I can think of it, even in the wrack and ruin of a' that's nearest and dearest to me But to be the father of a castaway a profligate a bloody Zipporah a mere murderess!
Her father said: "Thou hast spoken well. Thy six sisters shall go forth with the sheep, and thou shalt abide in the house and take care of it, and all that belongeth to me therein." Now Zipporah could provide Moses with all sorts of dainties as he lay in the pit, and she did it for the space of seven years.
When their father knew that a noble stranger had been kind to his daughters, he asked him to come into his house, and eat bread with him, and stay as long as he would. So Moses stayed and Zipporah, one of the seven sisters, became his wife. But Moses did not forget his people.
