NUMBERS 12:1 AND MIRIAM AND AARON SPAKE AGAINST MOSES BECAUSE OF THE ETHIOPIAN WOMAN HE HAD MARRIED: FOR HE HAD MARRIED AN ETHIOPAN WOMAN. 12:9 AND THE ANGER OF THE LORD WAS KINDLED AGAINST THEM. NUMBERS 12:10 10 MIRIAM WAS TURNED LEPROUS. READ ALL OF CHAPTER 12.

I BELIEVE THAT IS CHAPTER AND VERSE AS YOU REQUESTED.
IT APPEARS TO BE POLYGAMY SANCTIONED BY THE LORD.

You have two obstacles to overcome with your argument. The first is PROVING that the Ethiopian woman is not Zipporah. Second is to proving that Zipporah was alive IF this was another woman. Since this woman is only named via an ethnic slur is it likely this is referring to Zipporah. Finally, this passage says nothing about God sanctioning polygamy anymore than God sanctioning theft and dishonesty - that is in the bible too.

So ???

Zipporah was Ethiopian and not a hebrew...

Mariam and Aaron were not around when Moses married her 40 years before...

So they objected to her religion and nationality...

But you...

Was it because she may have been black that you object to her ???
