Zipporah

Zipporah was the wife of Moses and one of the seven daughters of the Midianite priest Jethro. She had two sons named Gershom and Eliezer. When Moses set out for Egypt with his wife and two sons the youngest became ill. Zipporah hastily circumcised the infant believing that the Lord was angry with Moses, then and she and her two sons returned to Jethro. They joined Moses again until after the Exodus.

Read about Zipporah in Exodus 2:21; 4:25; and 18:2.
