Zipporah
In the 
Bible, 
Zipporah was 
Moses's wife. Moses met Zipporah when fleeing from 
Egypt. Her 
father was 
Jethro, a 
priest of 
Midian. Zipporah and Moses had two sons, 
Gershom and Eliezer. At one point, as Moses was returning to 
Egypt to confront 
Pharaoh, Zipporah saved Moses' life. God was prepared to kill Moses, apparently because his firstborn son Gershom had not been 
circumcisedd, so Zipporah performed the circumcision and touched Moses' feet with the 
foreskin, saying, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me." God then spared Moses.
Her name is Hebrew for 'bird'.
