“My Dad Is Cooler Than Your Dad”

Did Moses have children?  I was watching the Prince of Egypt the other day when I was babysitting my cousin, and the question came to my mind after the movie was over.  Does it say anything in the Bible about him having any kids?  I asked a couple other people, and they had no idea either.  Some said ‘maybe’, and others said ‘no’.

Sincerely,

Dear Looking For Junior,

Moses did have children.  After Moses was banished from Egypt, he met a woman named Zipporah and married her (Ex 2:21).  Eventually, Moses and Zipporah returned to Egypt to free Israel from slavery.  Ex 4:20 says that when they returned to Egypt, they brought their sons with them.
