Mark continued the series on The Lesser-Known Bible Women by focusing on Zipporah, Moses’s wife, as found in Exodus 4:24-26. He unpacked the meaning behind her striking statement: “You are a bridegroom of blood.”

The Context

In Moses’s time, culture dictated every aspect of life. Mark began by revisiting the pivotal moment of the burning bush, where God called Moses to lead His people out of slavery in Egypt.

The Story

Mark contrasted Moses’s two departures from Egypt. The first time, Moses left alone, desperate, and powerless. The second time, God had provided for every need, equipping Moses for the mission ahead.

Zipporah’s act of circumcising her son reflects the covenant of blood—a foreshadowing of Jesus’s ultimate sacrifice.
