this a the Egyptian tradition POtiphar
was not tender-hearted man. He inn
prisOned his wife, as also joseph, al
though the Lady and Joseph asserted
their innocence. The Judge ordered an
inquiry, and the wife Of POtiphar. in her
defense, urged that her passion for .Jo-
seph. had been awakened by his person

an possibly could resist Others. she

was unhurt declared that she had es-
capped the common fate by throwing her
knife away the moment she saw Joseph;
and, on being further pressed with ques-
