Are Potiphar and POTIPHERA the same person? You might say, “Of course not!” But some scholars say Joseph’s Egyptian master–Potiphar–and his eventual father-in-law–POTIPHERA–might have been the same person. Perhaps their names were spelled differently in later translations. Nope. I don’t buy it. Especially when Genesis clearly states that Potiphar was captain of Pharaoh’s guard (39:1) and Potiphera was a priest in …
In Feast or Famine (IFOF) is the second book in The Egyptian Chronicles (my Amazon aff link) and picks up Joseph’s story where we left off in Potiphar’s Wife.

Well, here’s a topic no male of our species every wants to discuss. But according to the original Hebrew language of Scripture, Potiphar was, in fact, a eunuch. But Maybe Not THAT Kind of Eunuch… According to the Jewish Encyclopedia (online), not all “eunuchs” are created equal: The term “saris” is commonly used in the Old Testament of eunuchs; but …
Egypt lauded Ra’s lovely chantress, whose heart was stolen by an ambitious priest named Potiphera.
