ZIPPORAH
“little bird.”
She was the daughter of Reuel or Jethro, and wife of Moses (Ex. 2:21, 22). She evidently opposed the circumcision of her son, until she was forced to carry it out to save the life of Moses, threatened with death by God for non-compliance with the rite.
She then called her husband a “blood husband” (Ex. 4:24-26). She was sent back to Jethro, bypassing the tribulation and consequent deliverance of Israel, and was returned with her two sons to her husband Moses once in Rephidim (Ex. 8:1-12).
