Talk:Zipporah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is clear in the Bible that Tzipporah is the Kushite wife. Took anti-black bias out.
- It isn't debated because of any percieved anti-black bias. It is debated simply because it clearly says that Zipporah is a Midianite. Midianites are not Cushites (for one thing they are substantially whiter). So either the Cushite is a different person, or Cushite is metaphorical.
[edit] Zipporah is the cushite wife
Until some credible evidence is shown as to why it should be considered "unclear", im keeping that speculative comment out.
- Modern scholars doubt it. That's why it's back, as part of NPOV. Jayjg (talk) 19:11, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

- Why is your uncited statement any better than his? Which modern scholars are we talking about? —Chris Capoccia T⁄C 20:00, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

- It is also unclear how deep is the scepticism of the scholars you are referring to. Are they merely doubting Zipporah's nationality/race? Are they doubting her existence? Are they doubting Jethro's existence? Are they doubting the entire record of the book of Exodus? —Chris Capoccia T⁄C 14:38, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
