The name Potiphar is believed to mean "he whom Ra has given" or "devoted to the sun," reflecting its Egyptian roots.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Potiphar was a high-ranking official in ancient Egypt, serving as the captain of the guard under Pharaoh. This position would have made him a person of significant influence and authority, responsible for the security of the Pharaoh and possibly overseeing the royal prison. The account of Potiphar is set during the time of Joseph, one of the patriarchs of Israel, who was sold into slavery by his brothers and ended up in Potiphar's household.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Joseph's master<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Potiphar (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מּוֺטִיפַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Joseph's master</b></font> (abbreviated from following);
