Josephus differentiated ranging from Midian and Kush (Guide II:10-1)
· There’s no proof connection of Cushite girl which have Zipporah or a Midianite on passage or other passages associated so you can Moses’ partner, thus like should not be presumed.
King Ahmose, whom reigned prior to this new 18th Dynasty, claims in the Carnarvon Pill We:
· Midian and you may Zipporah was basically never ever described as Kush otherwise Cushite throughout the fresh new biblical details. Midian and you may Kush otherwise Midianite and Cushite was basically never ever used interchangeably in either the new biblical, the new Egyptian, or perhaps the Assyrian ideas. Jethro is actually never ever titled a good Cushite.
· It does not make sense to have Miriam to dicuss facing Moses on account of a spouse (Zipporah) who Moses got hitched for around forty years.
· The Hebrew clause ??? – ?????? ????????? ?????????? ?????? ????? : ???? – ??????? ??????? , ????? . (‘because of the Cushite woman which he married’ (virtually grabbed), ‘for he had hitched good Cushite woman’) strongly ways a current marriage.
