105. An Exceptional Marriage Custom

Listen from:
Exodus 2:21. He gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
In general the proposal of marriage came from the family of the bridegroom; but occasionally this custom was reversed, as in the case referred to in the text. Caleb gave his daughter Achsah to Othniel (Josh. 15:16-17). Saul gave his daughter Michal to David (1 Sam. 18:27).
