Zipporah was Moses only wife.

(Exodus 2:21) After that Moses showed willingness to dwell with the man, and he gave Zip‧po′rah his daughter to Moses.

At Numbers 12:1 she is referred to as a Cushite.

(Numbers 12:1) Now Mir′i‧am and Aaron began to speak against Moses on account of the Cush′ite wife whom he had taken, because it was a Cush′ite wife he had taken.

This does not indicate that Zipporah had died and Moses had remarried an Ethiopian woman, as is commonly contended, for although "Cushite" usually refers to Ethiopians, it can also embrace those from Arabia
