What does the Bible say about the significance of Moses' wife and children?

Answered in 1 source

Moses' wife Zipporah and his children symbolize the church being reconciled to Christ, representing believers brought from afar to God.

In Exodus 18, the return of Moses' wife Zipporah and his children signifies reconciliation, which parallels the reconciliation of believers with Christ. Zipporah, a Midianite, symbolizes the inclusion of all people in God's grace, illustrating how even those from pagan backgrounds are welcomed into the covenant community through sovereign grace. Just as Zipporah's return indicates a reunification with Moses, so the church, represented as the bride, is brought to Christ to partake in His redemptive work, highlighting God's purpose in bringing sinners home.
