Comment on Torah Portion Overview by Nehemia Gordon

Pastor Rod ask me to pipe in, so here are my two agurot. The rabbis have a tendency to identify two biblical characters where one is well-known and the other is relatively unknown. For example, Judges says that Deboarah was the wife of Lapidot, an otherwise unknown man. The rabbis say that Lapidot and the better-known general Barak are one and the same. Similarly, Genesis 24 speaks about the “servant of Abraham” sent to bring a wife back for Isaac; the servant’s name is never given. The rabbis identify this otherwise unknown servant with Arbaham’s chamberlain Eliezer of Damascus. In the case of Osnat, the rabbis identify the otherwise unknown Potifera priest of On with the more famous Potiphar, Pharoah’s servant whose wife tried to seduce Joseph. Potiphar is described as a saris, a eunuch, the same word used in Isaiah 56 when it speaks about the God giving the eunuchs who are faithful to him a greater gift than chidren. Isaiah was addressing the many officials of the foreign kingdoms who were usually eunuchs; the heathen kings would make their top officials eunuchs to discourage them from overthrowing the king. A man who did not have a son to inherit his position was less likely to try and install himself as king. Potiphar was a saris (eunuch) of Pharoah and distinct from Potiphera a priest at the city of On in Egypt.

I have a question. I listened to Torah Pearls last week on Truth2U with Nehemiha Gordon & Keith Johnson. Nehemiah explained that from the Hebrew, it is clear that Potiphar was a eunuch. In this week’s portion (Miketz), Genesis 41, Joseph marries the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On and, according to the Torah Portion overview with Rabbi Klunstein, this was the same Potiphar Joseph served in chapter 39. My question is this: Is this the same man and if so, how is it that a eunuch has a daughter?
