Moses

Continuing to look at the sex lives of some of the Biblical heros.  Trying to create a biblical list of things considered sexually immoral.   Was Paul considering Moses when he said that the sexually immoral (pornoi πόρνοι) will not inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Chor 6:9) Or did pornoi mean something else?

Moses is considered to be the greatest prophet of our Old Testament.  He is regarded as a man who spoke for God.

"No prophet ever again arose in Israel like Moses, who knew the LORD face to face." (Deut 34:10 NET)

There is scholarly debate as to how many wives Moses married.  Josephus recorded that Moses married an Ethiopian Princess "Tharbis". In Numbers 12 Miriam and Aaron complained about Moses marrying a Cushite. But in Exodus 2, after he ran away to Midian, he married Reuel's daughter Zippora.

If you believe Moses was the author of a the first few books of the Bible, including that Leviticus 18 List, what do we make of this?  That would have been a good place to write "only have sex with your one wife", but instead we find a list that says don't have sex with people on this list.
