	Potiphar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the narrative in Genesis, Joseph was eventually appointed the head of Potiphar's household, and Potiphar's wife attempted to seduce Joseph.
		According to the documentary hypothesis, the story of Potiphar's wife derives from the Jahwist source, and stands in the same place that the stories of the butler and the baker and Pharaoh's dreams stand in the Elohist text.
		This may also be the reason for the homoerotic undertones to the description of Potiphar's favouritism of Joseph, and thus for the description of Potiphar as a eunuch (saris).

	Daily Bible Study - Potiphar
		Potiphar was the Egyptian "captain of the guard" to whom the Israelite patriarch Joseph (see Children of Jacob) was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers (Genesis 37:1-36).
		He entered Egypt as a slave, became a leading servant in his master Potiphar's household, was sent to prison on a false charge made against him by Potiphar's unfaithful wife, and later became the pharaoh's right hand man, thereby outranking his owner Potiphar.
		No doubt Joseph's great political power thereafter caused Potiphar's wife more than a few sleepless nights, not for the harlot's usual reason, but out of worry of what Joseph then had the power to do to her for her lies that sent him to prison for over 2 years before his release.
