<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> [[Potiphera]] </strong> . [[Genesis]] 41:45; Genesis 41:50; Genesis 46:20 . The consonants in the [[Hebrew]] are an almost exact transcript of the Egyp. <em> Peteprç </em> , ‘Given by the Sun-god,’ a late name found from the 22nd Dyn. onwards; only the letter <em> w </em> (represented by Eng. <em> o </em> ) is puzzling. Potiphera, father of Joseph’s wife <strong> [[Asenath]] </strong> (wh. see), was priest of On, <em> i.e. </em> probably high priest of [[Rã§,]] the Sun-god, in On. He would thus be the head of the most learned sacerdotal college in the country, and of high rank. </p> <p> [[F.]] Ll. Griffith. </p> | ||
