Numbers 12:1 [2] Because the ancient borders of Cush and Midian sometimes overlapped Miriam may have considered Moses' wife, Zipporah, a Cushite instead of a Midianite (EXO 2:21); however, it is also possible that Zipporah had died and this refers to a second wife. Marriage with a Canaanite was forbidden (EXO 34:11, 16), but not marriage with an Egyptian or Cushite. Joseph's wife was an Egyptian (GEN 41:45).
