Zipporah
Moses, who wrote the first five books of the Bible, married an Ethiopian woman, Zipporah, and was persecuted for it, says blacksinthescriptures.com. He and his family almost lost their lives because she was African and because of her Ethiopic religious roots. “God, Himself, brought judgment time and again because of this African woman,” says blacksinthebible.org. “And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.” (Numbers 12:1)
