Exodus
Zipporah is one of the daughters of the priest of Midian who met Moses at the well. Moses later took her as his wife, and she bore him a son. She is identified in the narrative of Moses settling in Midian (Exodus 2:16-22).
16Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father`s flock.
17The shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18When they came to Reuel, their father, he said, "How is it that you have returned so early today?"
19They said, "An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock."
20He said to his daughters, "Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."
21Moses was content to dwell with the man. He gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter.
22She bore a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."
