It seems as if Moses' first marriage is on the rocks, but look, there seems to be a new woman in his life, and she seems to be... a Cushite?

To quote a good friend of mine, "Is that in the Bible?

The story is based on Numbers 12:1-16. The reference to Moses and Zipporah's divorce comes from Exodus 18:1-9, and the story of the emergency circumcision is found in Exodus 4:24-26.
