I wonder if Zipporah was saying that the baby was a bridegroom of blood to 
her based on the circumcision and blood on the baby as I explained in my 
first email. Maybe touching his feet was part of a Midian marriage ritual, 
not meant literally, but done symbolically on the baby. I don't know what 
unusual marriage rituals  ancient people did, but that might explain touching 
his feet. Most commentators say she threw his foreskin at Moses' feet, 
instead of touching or hitting his feet, but I don't know if the verb 
actually means that. I haven't seen it in the dictionary translated that way.
