Potiphera Potiphera

Potiphera is an Egyptian priest and father of Joseph's wife Asenath.

The name Potiphera is an Egyptian name and its transliteration to this Hebrew form means nothing at all. Phera is a transliteration of Phra, or Ra; the sun-god. According to BDB, the word put reflects an Egyptian verb meaning to give, and renders He Whom The Ra Gave.
