The Story Of Zipporah: The Forgotten Wife of Moses- Illustrated Bible Story
117 Video Views·Jan 29, 2026
Everyone knows the story of Moses, the plagues, and the Red Sea. But history has largely forgotten the woman who made it all possible: Zipporah.
In this deep dive, we uncover the mysterious and controversial story of Moses' Midianite wife. From their meeting at a desert well to the terrifying night at the lodging place where God sought to kill Moses, Zipporah's quick thinking saved the greatest prophet in history. Why did she have to perform a bloody ritual in the dark? Why was she sent away? And why does the Bible give us so few details about her fate?
In this video, we cover:
The Shepherdess & The Prince: How a fugitive Moses met Jethro’s fierce daughter in the wilderness of Midian.
The "Bridegroom of Blood": The shocking, cryptic moment where Zipporah saves Moses from divine judgment using a flint knife.
The Broken Covenant: Why Moses failed to circumcise his son and how Zipporah understood the covenant better than the deliverer himself.
The Disappearance: The heartbreaking reality of Zipporah being sent away while Moses led the Exodus, and their awkward reunion in the wilderness.

Well good morning and good morning from the Cairngorms. I'm back at one of my
favorite locations here in the Cairngorms, the Lone Tree, looking onto the western side
of the Cairngorms really. I've shot this many many times, this location. The last time I was here I
caught a rainbow and this lovely pink sort of bow over it. It was absolutely amazing here last time
but this morning obviously a sunrise. We'll see what happens. I am a bit optimistic with the
weather. I might get some fleeting light on the Cairngorms there in the distance beyond the tree
but just wait for the light to get a bit more brighter because I do need a fast shutter speed
without bumping up that ISO too much either because there is a bit slight movement in the
tree this morning. But we'll see how we go and hopefully, fingers crossed, I might get some
glorious light. Who knows, even some colourful sky would be nice. It's a bit bleak but it does
make a lovely picture, black and white this, which I'll turn one of the images into as well.
So, speak to you in a minute. Bye for now. With these speckles of rain it's just a matter of
wipe, shoot, wipe, shoot, wipe, shoot. Just making sure you're in focus all the time as well
because you're wiping the front of that filter on the front.
Yeah, I've got a soft grad 9 in there, adds a bit of contrast to that sky.
I'm cranking my ISO up all the way to 200, 16 by 9 ratio, f11 and I'm at one tenth of a second.
Well, to be perfectly honest, nothing's really happening with the sky. There is a pink
coming through beyond the lower layer of the base cloud but nothing really special. Again,
I think this will turn out a nice black and white but it's always good to actually revisit these
places. A lot of people don't like doing that. I do. I find sometimes it betters your photography
in a way but each to their own. Yeah, I do like revisiting places. I've shot this so many times
in total, about several to eight times I've been here. I really have. So yeah,
not much happening here so I'll start to wrap up now and find somewhere else. See you soon.
Bye for now. Now, I've just got back to the car. It's a bit more lighter but that rubbish
beside this lay-by here, this is absolutely disgusting and I'm quite embarrassed actually
to really show you this but just look at that. That is ridiculous. Even a mattress over the
side there with fly tippers. I mean, this is really, really embarrassing guys but sorry.
This is just absolutely disgusting. Take your litter home with you, honestly.
Well, as you might have already probably guessed, I am at the Hermitage in Perthshire.
Again, this is another location that I have vlogged in the past but like I said,
it's always good to revisit these locations. So yeah, I'm expecting a lot of water to come
over the top of the falls up by the viewpoint, Ocean's viewpoint. But lots and lots of water
and as you can see, the water has breached the side of the banks. That says to me that's going
to be a lot, lot of water. So once I'm up there, it should be quite dramatic. So I will see you
up there. Hi, pretty wild out there. So really, I don't know if you can see but just on the corner
up here, I'm going to try and get myself up here. Again, these rocks will be very, very slippery
today. Fall in there, death, that's for sure. Yeah, on the other side, I want to get a nice
shot of the Hermitage. I'm not too keen about shooting into man-made structures like buildings
and stuff but this is an exception, the Hermitage, capturing that waterfall as well. But it's
just a matter of taking your time and just somebody's back cover for the viewfinder lens.
Right, let's have a little scoot round, see what I can see. Just push through the little
archway here. Oh, let me give you a view. Sorry if there's a bit of a background noise here but
oh, look at that. This is just insane. Now, there is a level that you can get down there which is
very close to the edge but I'm not going to bother with that. It's nice and safe up here
at the top, shooting down, capturing the wisp of the water just running across the top of the rocks.
Obviously, you've got to wait for the people to disappear from the viewpoint
but it makes a beautiful, beautiful image. Nice and dramatic, that's for sure.
I'm going to finish up here, get possibly another shot here. My sensor for this one, F9,
one sixth of a second and at ISO 160. Sorry for the background noise there, it's a bit loud with
that water gushing down there but lots of mist in the frame as well but constantly, constantly
wiping your front of your lens. But yeah, let's get another shot and let's see what else I can
find around here. Possibly a bit of abstract, we'll see but I might just shoot straight onto
that arched bridge there with that water coming down as well, see what I'll capture.
Speak to you in a minute. Oh, just putting my stuff away now. I didn't quite get the images
that I was after. The water levels are far, far too high and if they are that high when
you're visiting places like this, the Hermitage, just don't go near the edge. It's far too dangerous.
Honestly, that is death if you fall in that river. So yes, back home, grab a cup of coffee and
plan my next adventure in a way because I'm looking forward to getting back in the Highlands.
It's been quite dreak here in Scotland. Totally missed the Northern Lights because I was doing
something else but believe me, I am going to get back out there. A little change in my vlogs in
the future but stay tuned, hit that like, subscribe and I'll see you very, very soon.
See you in the Highlands guys. Bye for now. Enjoy the images.
