    At least two - Zipporah and an Ethiopian

    Zipporah was the Ethiopian wife, sometimes mistaken as a second wife.

    In the absence of any record of Zipporah’s death and a remarriage on Moses’ part, it is assumed the Cushite woman to be Zipporah. She was the daughter of priest Reuel of the land of Midian, where the descendants of Abraham by Midian lived. She was not an Ethiopian. She was not a Cushite in the sense of being a descendant of Ham’s son Cush, the forefather of the Ethiopians. Although "Cushite" usually refers to Ethiopians, it can also embrace those from Arabia.
