Potipherah was a priest of the Ancient Egyptian town of On,〔The Open court , Volume 27. Harry Houdini Collection (Library of Congress).〕 mentioned in the and of the ''Hebrew Bible''. He was the father of Asenath, who was given to Joseph as his wife by Pharaoh, () and who bore Joseph two sons: Manasseh and Ephraim. His name means "he whom Ra has given". == Theories == It was suggested that Potipherah was a prince, not only a priest,〔(A Concise Dictionary of the Bible for the Use of Families and Students by William Aldis Wright, Edmonds & Remnants )〕 and that he may be the same person as Potiphar. If this is true, then the wife of Potipherah was in love with Joseph, as it is said for Potiphar's wife.〔Legends of Old Testament characters from the Talmud and other sources by Sabine Baring-Gould〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Potipherah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
