Ethiopia's history was often interwoven with that of Egypt. Together or apart they fought wars with the Israelites from time to time. During the reign of Rehoboam (see Kings of Israel and Judah), Ethiopia fought with Egypt against Judah (2 Chronicles 12:3). In the reign of Asa, a very large force of Ethiopians under Zerah was defeated by Judah (2 Chronicles 14:9-13, 16:7-9). Later, Tirhakah, a powerful Ethiopian king of a dynasty that had subjected Egypt itself, came against Hezekiah of Judah but was driven back by the Assyrians (see Ancient Empires - Assyria) (2 Kings 19:9, Isaiah 37:9)

Because of their attacks upon the land of Israel, the destruction of the Ethiopian kingdom became certain (a lesson foolishly ignored by Israel's enemies today). Many prophecies dealt with their coming ruin (e.g. Isaiah 18:1, 20:3-5, 43:3, Jeremiah 46:9-10)

There is some indication that the Ethiopians may have held territory other than in Africa, on the east side of the Red Sea, in what is today Arabia (2 Chronicles 21:16)

Ethiopia was the westernmost frontier of the Persian Empire at its peak

Answer 3

In the Book of Exodus, in the process of Moses' exile from Egypt, he begins working for Jethro as a shepherd. Consequently he meets Zipporah (meaning female or little bird), and marries her, and they have two sons, Gershom, and Eliezer. Zipporah also features in a much more curious, and much-debated, passage. The passage concerning Moses and Zipporah reach an inn, contains four of the most difficult sentences in Biblical text. One possible interpretation is that something (perhaps God, perhaps an agent of God) tries to kill Moses, until Zipporah carries out a circumcision. (Other interpretations suggest that it is their son, Gershom, who is attacked.). Yet another is that Moses tried to kill his own son and only after Zippora cut the child's foreskin, drawing blood and pain, did his anger subside. A third reference to a wife of Moses occurs in the tale of snow-white Miriam, at Numbers 12:1, where she is described as a Cushite (often understood to mean Ethiopian but could also simply imply "foreign"), but is not named. Since Zipporah is a Midianite, some early sources, such as Josephus in his Jewish Antiquities 2.10-11, and the Targum Pseudo-Jonathan, as well as modern biblical criticism, have stated that they were different individuals, particularly since bigamy was legal, and practiced elsewhere by Jacob, a major patriarch. Nevertheless, a traditional Jewish and Christian view has been that they are both the same woman, the Cushite reference being only a metaphorical one concerning the perceived beauty of the Cushites

Answer 4

Moses And Zipporah

Answer 5

Was Moses Wife Black

Answer 6

Zipporah was from Midian, so that makes her more of the Arabic race. However, there are verses in the Book of Jasher that note that Moses married and Ethiopian, and this indeed would be a black woman.

Answer 7

She most certainly was!
Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.

3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. Heb. 3.2

8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

9 ¶ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

My words below.
And God made Miriam leprous because they were speaking against Moses for marrying a black woman!

Don't listen to Duh 2! The guy is so wrong that the word ignorant doesn't do him justice.

st your wrong! There were two places called Cush in the time of Moses. One was in Ethiopia and the other was in Arabia. Clearly the Scriptures are referring to the Cush located in Africa due to where Moses found Jethro. My King James Version Bible is quite fine thank you very much!

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Watching tv is easier but I love reading catalogs more

Answer 10

while reading a book, you're stimulating the human brain. You transform your literacy and reading skills and you also along the way, are more literate. Despite having today's modern tools, you need to be in a position to read still.
While you're watching t.v. can be good fun, it isn't doing anything to your brain.
