How many years had Moses already been married to Tsipora in the Paran desert, when Moses divorced her (according to Rashi in Numbers 12;1)?

I think there is a Midrash that mentions Moses timeline 40 years in Egypt growing up another 40 in Midyan and another 40 years in the desert. If that’s what you’re referring to. – Daniel Ross Sep 20 '21 at 13:48

@DanielRoss How could it be, if it's written (Ex 7;6) that he was 80 years old when he came in front of Pharaoh? – The Glacier Sep 22 '21 at 00:46

I think it would be 3 years. Because he was 80+ at Sinai, this link quotes a Midrash that he was 77 when he married Tzipora: https://www.ohr.edu/7253 – yishairasowsky Sep 23 '21 at 13:38
