Click to reveal the answerThe answer is: At a well in the land of Midian
Exo 2:15-16
Moses’ journey to finding his future wife is not just a tale of romance; it's embedded within significant cultural contexts of the time. He met Zipporah at a well in Midian, an encounter rich with symbolism and relevance. Wells were communal gathering spots, often drawing people together, much like modern coffee shops do today! They served as meeting places for families and business, illustrating not only everyday connectivity but also God's divine orchestration in personal relationships.
Interestingly, Moses saved Zipporah and her sisters from rough shepherds while they were drawing water. This could be seen as a reflection of the biblical theme where God often empowers individuals to act justly. Think of how characters like David and Esther took brave, decisive actions to shepherd their people and loved ones.
Contemplating irony, Moses, a future leader of the Israelites who would guide an entire nation, faced the raging currents of boldness right in his personal life: a freeing departure from the bustle of Egyptian royalty to humble Midian.
Did you know that this watershed moment of their meeting is our introduction to a prominent Midianite family? Jethro, Zipporah's father, turned out to be an all-around spiritual adviser, later offering wisdom critical to Moses and the Israelites. So, here’s a family that ticked all the boxes of zeal and counsel! Furthermore, it highlights the way co-existing communities influenced the God's people narrative—as these diverse characters interwove their destinies both in love and faith. Love truly knows no bounds!
