The Ten Commandments Movie - Corrections -4- Apr 2024
National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel shares Part 4 of "Corrections" to the 1956 movie, "The Ten Commandments." Adding yet more to the previous 3 episodes' "corrections," this Episode #319 reveals how Zipporah (mis-named as "Zephra") from the tribe of Midian did not descend from Ishmael (born unto Abraham of Hagar the handmaid of Sarah), but rather of Abraham's third wife, Keturah. While the movie failed to recognize this, the Bible shows that Abraham was a polygamist with three wives, the third of whom bore Midian.
