Information

Potiphar

Potiphar (Hebrew: פּוֹטִיפַר, Modern: Potifar, Tiberian: Pōṭîp̄ar) is a figure mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 39:1-20). He is identified as an Egyptian officer and captain of the guard for Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt. The name Potiphar is often interpreted as derived from the Egyptian name Djedefhor, meaning "enduring is Horus" or "Horus is satisfied", reflecting the Egyptian cultural context of the narrative. In the biblical account, Potiphar purchases Joseph, a Hebrew man, as a slave from the Ishmaelites who had taken him from his brothers. Joseph gains Potiphar's favor and is eventually placed in charge of Potiphar's household. However, Potiphar's wife falsely accuses Joseph of attempting to seduce her, leading to Joseph's imprisonment. This story is significant in the broader narrative of Joseph's life, as it sets the stage for his eventual rise to power in Egypt. The name Potiphar is also transliterated in various languages, such as Arabic (بوطيفار, Būṭīfār) and Greek (Πετεφρή, Petéphrē).
