00:00Potiphar, who initially held the position of minister in Pharaoh's court, made the deliberate
00:05choice to become a eunuch due to his intense attraction to Joseph.
00:09When Joseph rejected his advances and distanced himself, Potiphar shifted from his role as
00:13Pharaoh's minister to become a priest.
00:16A notable indicator of this transformation can be found in the Bible, where he is initially
00:20referred to as Potiphar and later as Potiphara, a Hebrew term that signifies being cut off.
00:26The irony in the story of Potiphar lies in the fact that his wife also attempted unsuccessfully
00:31to seduce Joseph, and fate took a surprising turn as Joseph eventually married Potiphar's
00:35daughters a knight.
