Moses' Ethiopian Wife
This woman married Moses, the prophet who led the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. She was from the ancient African kingdom of “Kush,” which is where modern day Sudan now is. In Bible times this was a powerful kingdom, sometimes rivaling Egypt in technology and power, and one in which women often held the highest roles in government.
