Simcha Jacobovici is a Canadian-Israeli filmmaker and journalist. He mentions that:<br />

"accord<strong>in</strong>g to Jewish sources (Yalkut Me’am Loez on Shemot 2:15), when Moses fled Egypt prior to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Biblical Exodus, he didn’t go directly to <strong>the</strong> S<strong>in</strong>ai desert. Ra<strong>the</strong>r, he fled to Kush (ancient Sudan),<br />

where he became a general and <strong>the</strong>n a k<strong>in</strong>g. In o<strong>the</strong>r words — and this is not known by <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong><br />

people, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Jews — accord<strong>in</strong>g to Jewish tradition Moses was an African k<strong>in</strong>g for almost 40 years.<br />

After he left Sudan, he went to <strong>the</strong> S<strong>in</strong>ai, married Zipporah, daughter <strong>of</strong> a former Midianite priest, and<br />

<strong>the</strong>n returned to Egypt to lead <strong>the</strong> Exodus and climb Mount S<strong>in</strong>ai to receive <strong>the</strong> Ten Commandments.<br />

But take note, before all this, for decades, he was a k<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Sudan.<br />

"Historically, <strong>the</strong> Jewish tradition makes sense. At least, it makes sense that a fugitive from Pharaoh<br />

would flee south <strong>in</strong>to Nubian-Kushite territory. The Kushites were forever at war with <strong>the</strong> Egyptians<br />

and, <strong>in</strong> fact, at one time Egypt was ruled by a Kushite Pharaoh named Taharqa who, centuries after<br />

Moses, showed up like <strong>the</strong> cavalry to save Jerusalem from <strong>the</strong> Assyrians (Isaiah, chapter 37, verse<br />

10-11, c. 687 BC). For his part, Moses was married to a<br />

Kushite (Numbers 12:1) by name Zipporah, <strong>the</strong> queen<br />

<strong>of</strong> Sudan."<br />
