Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Zipporah or Tzipora (Hebrew: , Modern Tsippora Tiberian ippôr ; Greek: Sephora; Arabic: , affrah or Safrawa; "bird") is mentioned in the Book of Exodus as the wife of Moses, and the daughter of Reuel / Jethro, the priest or prince of Midian. Zipporah was one of the seven daughters of Reuel, the Midianite priest or prince, who is also called Jethro (Exodus 3: 1, 4: 18, 18: 1-2 ff.) and Hobab (Judges 4: 11). While the Israelites / Hebrews were captives in Egypt, Moses killed an Egyptian who was striking a Hebrew, for which offense Pharaoh sought to kill Moses. Moses therefore fled from Egypt and arrived in Midian. One day while he sat by a well, Reuel's daughters came to water their father's flocks. Other shep­herds arrived and drove the girls away so they could water their own flocks first. Moses helped the girls and watered their flock.
