Who was in Zipporah's family?
Zipporah had six sisters, who are unknown, but mentioned in Ex. 2:16-20, "....now the priest of Midian had seven daughters-(including Zipporah)-and they came and drew water for their father's flock. Then shepherds came and drove them away. But Moses stood up for them, and he helped them and watered their flock. When they -(the daughters)- came to Reuel their father, he said, 'How is it that you have come back so soon?' and they answered and said, 'An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew water for us and the flock.' so he said unto his daughters, 'And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.'..." Zipporah also had a brother, Hobab, as mentioned in Numbers 10:29-33, "....Now Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, 'We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, 'I will give to you.' Come with us and we will treat you well; for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.' and Hobab said unto Moses, 'I will not go. But I will depart to my own land and to my relatives.' so Moses said unto him, 'Please do not leave, Inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness and you can be our eyes. And it shall be if you go with us-indeed it shall be- that whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same we will do for you.' and so they departed..." it doesn't state the reason for Hobab's visit, it could possibly be to see his sister and her family....or to represent her family at her funeral? A couple chapters later...it mentions Moses married again....Hobab is mentioned again in Judges 4:11, not as Zipporah's brother but father, "....now Hebert the Kenite of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses...." Reuel/Jethro/Hobab was Zipporah's father. Zipporah married Moses and had two sons: Gershom and Eliezer. We can tell Moses was really content and happy around Zipporah and her family. Zipporah is first mentioned unnamed when her sisters and her are introduced, as the seven daughters of Reuel, then we know her name when she is married to Moses in Ex. 2:21. She is mentioned again in Ex. 4:29, and later in Ex. 4:24-26. Then her last appearance is made in Ex. 18.
When was zipporah feldman born?
We don't know the bible doesn't say. Though not mentioned, she may have died in Numbers 10. When her brother, Hobab, most likely the head of Zipporah's family, visits Moses. We don't know his reason but probably to represent his family at Zipporah's funeral. He is hasty to depart to his family probably to comfort them, and he probably sees it as they are no longer apart of Moses' family though Zipporah and Moses' sons were still alive. Moses wants Hobab and Zipporah's family to travel with them to the Promised Land. With him saying this, we can interpret this as Moses wants his family to mourn together and he is reassuring him they are still apart of his family. Hobab probably agreed though not mentioned as the next words are "...so they departed from the mountain of God on a journey of three days.." In Numbers 12:1, we learn Moses remarried to an unnamed Ethopian woman, who Miriam and Aaron bitterly hate.
Who was zapporah's father in the Bible?
He was called Reuel in Exodus 2; called Jethro in Exodus 18; called Hobab in Judges 4.Answer:Jethro (Yitro in Hebrew). He had seven names (or nicknames), some of which are listed in the above answer: Reuel, Yetter, Yitro, Hovav, Hever, Keini, and Putiel.
Midian what nationality was zipporah?
Zipporah wasn't fully Midianite. Her father's various names gives us a hint on her ancestry. Her father is only mentioned once as a Midianite (Numbers 10:29), but before is called a priest of Midian (Ex.2:16, Ex.3:1, ex. 4:18, Ex.18:1), being a priest of Midian is a title, meaning of high birth, is does not mean Zipporah and her family were Midianite. They were only part Midianite. Reuel is the first name given to Zipporah's father. This could possibly be his real name, however it could mean who he descended from. Esau married Basemath, who was the daughter of Ishmael and a Hittite lady, whose father was Elon the Hittite. Their son was Reuel. This is most likely Zipporah's ancestor. Along the line somewhere, her ancestors married Midianites. Zipporah was part Egyptian, part Hebrew, part Hittite and part Midianite. This explains why she is not mentioned in Genelogies or why her sons were not given important positions. Jethro was her father's title, as it means "His Excellency." Hobab was Zipporah's brother, as mentioned in Numbers 10:29, where he annoymously visits Moses either to visit his sister or now as the head of the family, to represent his family at Zipporah's funeral. In Judges 4:11, it mentions Hobab again, but as Moses' father in law. This means now as head of the family, he carries the title "father in law" though he is a "brother in law." or it means Heber the Kenite came through Hobab who was the son of Moses' father in law.

What was significance of Jethro?
I'm not sure what you mean by "significance" in this case.Jethro is one of the names given to Moses' father-in-law, and he's said to be a priest (the word could be translated as prince, though priest makes more sense) of Midian. (Moses' father-in-law is sometimes called Reuel or Hobab. It's not absolutely clear whether he had several names (such as Abram/Abraham or Jacob/Israel), or whether some of these are actually titles rather than names.)He appears to have at one time been an idolator who converted to worship of YHVH.
Was Zipporah Midianite?
Most likely no. Her father was a priest of Midian, it didn't say they were Midianites. Her father's names give us a hint on their ancestry. The name, Jethro means "His Excellency," and is a title. His other name is Reuel....there is another man named Reuel in the Bible. Esau married a woman named Basemath, she was the daughter of Ishmael and a Hittite lady. We know this as she is mentioned in Gen. 26:34, "...and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.." Elon is most likely Basemath's mother's father. In Gen.36:3, she is mentioned again as the daughter of Ishmael, in the next verse, we learn Esau and Basemath had a son, Reuel....by Zipporah's father being called Reuel, this gives us a hint, her family is most likely the descendants of Esau and Basemath. There is a slim chance they are descendants of Midian, son of Abraham and his third wife, Keturah. If they are descendants of Esau and Basemath, this makes sense why Zipporah is not mentioned in the genealogies in Gen.6, or why her sons were not given important positions, as they were part Egyptian, part Hebrew, and part Hittite. Zipporah's father's real name was Hobab, (Judges 4: 11) and his son was named after him (Numbers 10:29), of course, the confusion of Zipporah's father and brother means that Heber descended from Hobab, the son of Reuel/Jethro/Hobab, therefore are descendants of Moses' father-in-law. If this is true of them descending from Esau, Zipporah and Moses' sons would have Levite or Hebrew blood as well as foreign Egyptian and Hittite blood. Very amazing-Moses was a Prince of Egypt, adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter, his wife, Zipporah may have Egyptian roots and his sons may also have Egyptians roots as well. However, this explains why they were not given important positions in the Levite tribe and why Zipporah is not mentioned in the Genelogies in Ex.6.
Who was Moses' father-in-law?
Moses' father-in-law was Jethro (Hebrew: Yithro). He was "the priest of Midian" (Exodus 2:15). Like many important people in ancient times, he had more than one name, based upon accomplishments, descriptives, etc. In his case, seven names were applied to him in various contexts: Re'uel, Yether, Yithro (Jethro), Hovav, Hever, Keini, Putiel (midrash Mechilta, Exodus 18:1, quoted in the Rashi commentary). Jethro was known for suggesting the appointment of leaders of tens, fifties, hundreds and thousands, a suggestion which Moses accepted and carried out (Exodus ch.18). He was also known for having become an influential convert to Judaism. His descendants are mentioned several times in later passages (Judges ch.4, 1 Samuel ch.15, Jeremiah ch.35).
