I want to know too!! I read one link (http://peebles.wordpress.com/2008/08/16/exodus-182-niv-%e2%80%9cmoses-had-sent-away-his-wife-zipporah-his-father-in-law-jethro-received-her%e2%80%9d/) .Originally in Ex 18:2 it mentions the wife being sent away and Jethro took her. It is implied that it may have been that Moses was overwhelmed or too busy with leading Israel. However in 18:5 it says that Jethro visited Moses again and he encouraged Moses to manage his responsibility better through delegation. Jethro also believed in his God, and supported Moses. Then in Ex 18: 27, it says that only Jethro was sent away and returned to his own country.. implying that Zipporah and his sons stayed with Moses... Unlike how it was depicted in the movie "The Ten commandments".. would u agree with my interpretation?

Does Zipporah And Moses Ever Have A Child?

Yes, at least 2 children Exodus 18:2-5 NIV (quick google search) 2 After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her 3 and her two sons. One son was named Gershom,[a] for Moses said, "I have become a foreigner in a foreign land"; 4 and the other was named Eliezer,[b] for he said, "My father's God was my helper; he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh." 5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, together with Moses' sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain of God. 6 Jethro had sent word to him, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons."
