Overview
Potiphar, captain of the guard for Pharaoh, bought Joseph from the Ishmaelites who had sold him into slavery. Despite Joseph's status as a slave, the Lord blessed him and he found favor in Potiphar's sight, eventually overseeing all his household affairs. When Potiphar's wife falsely accused Joseph of assault, Potiphar had him imprisoned, yet even in prison God continued to prosper Joseph.
