I'm going to have to go back and study all of this.  :blink:

I've always assumed - and maybe incorrectly - that the Cushite woman was Moses' second wife after Zipporah died - even though the Bible does not mention Zipoorah's death.

The reason I've always assumed this was a second wife [from Cush - Ethiopa and descendants of Ham's son Cush] is because Zipporah was a Midianite woman - daughter of Jethro the Midianite.

The Midianites were descendants of Midian, the son of Abraham, just like the Israelites were descendants of Isaac, another son of Abraham.  Abraham had 8 sons total.

 

Wouldn't Moses and Zipporah be the same ethinicity?

Like I said, I need to go back and dig some on this.

I'm a bit confused myself.

So Moses fled Pharaoh and settled with a Midianite family, marrying Jethro the priests daughter Zipporah.

If they are a branch off Abrahams family tree, then they are distantly related - 

The Cushite wife, sounds like a second wife. I always thought Cush was like Ethiopia - but is Cush Egyptian?

 

*Was Noah's son Ham the father of the Cushites ( Egypt?)

I'm Very confused lol!

Moses only had one wife but I may be wrong. I will have to do more extensive studies on it.

Maybe a new thread should be made so as not to derail the OP's thread

Well, in the the Table of Nations in Genesis 10,  it says that Ham had 4 four sons.  Mizraim, Cush, Phut, and Canaan.

I was always told that Mizraim was the father of the Egyptians because his name is Hebrew for Egypt.  You can see that in Strong's Concordance.  https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/Lexicon/Lexicon.cfm?strongs=H4714&t=KJV

I was always told that Cush was the father of the Ethiopians.

Canaan was obviously the father of the original people in the Promised Land.

I don't know anything about Phut except that his name sounds like "foot" to me! :laugh:

So if that's correct, Moses had an Ethiopian wife - it sounds like he either had a second wife or remarried after Zipporahs (Midianite) death which the OT does not comment on.

Having more than one wife in Moses day was normal culture.

Lol, I thought it was pronounced as putt - like hut.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
