Have you ever wondered if you know all the details about Moses, the great leader and liberator of the people of Israel? You may think you know everything about his life, but the truth is that there is an enigmatic facet of his story that few people know about. We are talking about a forgotten aspect, hidden among the best-known stories. Moses was not only the brave man who defied the Pharaoh and led his people to freedom, but, like every human being, he had complex personal relationships, full of challenges and profound moments. One of these relationships was with his wife Zipporah, a woman whose story has been relegated to silence, but who played a fundamental role in the life of this great prophet. Zipporah's story is as mysterious as it is fascinating, and it takes us to the least explored corners of the Bible. Who was this woman who is rarely spoken of in the Scriptures? Her presence is significant, but her life and personality are mentioned only in fragments. Zipporah was a Midianite, daughter of Jethro, a priest of Midian, and her encounter with Moses was not only unexpected, it changed both of their lives irreversibly. To add to the mystery, the Bible also mentions another wife of Moses: a Cushite woman, whose name we do not know, but who also seems to have played an important role in his life. Two women from completely different cultures and backgrounds, linked to one of the most revered figures in biblical history. How is it possible that these figures are not widely known?
