http://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et0202.htm I checked that source, and the World Book Encyclopedia that I own, an old edition but still good for certain things such as this for instance, and neither one could give his name. Apparently, no one knows, not even Jews. Exodus (from the Hebrew Bible) Chapter 2; "1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. " Oh yeah, also, in Exodus Chapter 2, it mentions, that Mose's wife (Moses, Musa, same thing), was in fact an Arab woman; 15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dweltin the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well. 16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 17 And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. 18And when they came to Reuel their father, he said: 'How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?' 19 And they said: 'An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.' 20 And he said unto his daughters: 'And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.' 21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. 22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger in a strange land.' Midian in The Bible, is what is now Saudi Arabia, the area of the border with Jordan and Egypt. The Midianites though, were not Ishmaelites, they were what are refered to in Saudi Arabia as the "classical Arabs," the Beduin tribes that dwelt in those lands since long before Ishmael came into the picture. Nevertheless that changes nothing; the fact remains that Mose's wife, was an Arab woman. Now, even though Moses was a prophet of God, who delivered the ancient Hebrews from Egyptian bondage, according to ashkenazi rules, Mose's son Gershom by Ziporah, is not a Jew. Even though Moses was a prophet of God so spiritually pure, he could do miracles, Gershom is STILL not a Jew. Silly little people those ashkenazi eh? [[User:67.148.120.72|67.148.120.72]]stardingo747
