Was Moses in a Forbidden Marriage?

To question the legitimacy of someone’s marriage is to cut right to the bone. That is what happened when a leader of the Tribe of Simeon – a man we later discover1 went by the name of Zimri ben Salu – faced off against Moses over his assertion that he had a right to marry a Midianite woman.

  1. Then, of course, one must also take into account the reaction of Heaven to a decision., Moshe married a Midyanite and then went on to become Moshe Rabeinu. Clearly the RShO had no problem with his marriage.
