Resumo: Zipporah, Moses’ wife, is the object of study of this Master’s degree dissertation, a character that belongs to the exodus traditions. She participates in just four episodes in the macronarrative on exodus (Ex 2:15-22; 4:18-20.24-26; 18:1-7). Therefore, in the first sight the Midianite seems to have less matter, in the sense of she occupies a position of secondary figure. However, the biblical literature shows that the roles, in certain moment, can be inverted. Suddenly, the protagonism comes out, exactly, through the character that, in general, does not have a big visibility. In fact, Zipporah astonishes us in many ways: in literary terms she is in the center; historically, she may contradict eventual prejudices from her cultural context in question when she defends the life of those who are endangered in their surviving, without anyone questioning her freedom as a woman; theologically she is reflected as someone who gains the consent of God. Thus, Moses’ Midianite wife becomes a model for the protagonism of those characters that, in general, are evaluated as secondary figures, highlighting their fundamental importance for the history of salvation
