What was Moses' wife's name?

This question tests your recall of a specific biblical marriage detail. Moses married Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro the priest of Midian, after he fled from Egypt. The couple first appears as Moses marries her following his time with Jethro’s family, and she becomes the mother of his son Gershom (and later Eliezer is named in his sons’ records). This distinguishes her from the other figures listed: Miriam is Moses’ sister, Rahab is a woman from Jericho encountered later in Joshua, and Naomi is Ruth’s mother-in-law. So Zipporah is the correct answer because she is the wife of Moses, not a relative or another character.
