Shalom Rev. Bryant;

 

If you read Sefer Shemot chapter 2, you will notice that צפרה is the daughter of רעואל who is referred to as כהן מדין within the narrative. This means she was of Midyan. As to whether or not Midyan is the Hurrian state of Mittani or not is subjective though.

 

Sincerely,

 

Yohanan bin-Dawidh

Dear Jim,

 

There is nothing in the immediate context that Zipporah is from Midian, the Hurrian state of Mittani. That is eisegesis of which most of your posts have been very guilty of.
