Potiphar's Wife and Tamar

  • Juxtaposed in Genesis 38 and 39
  • Contrast Morality of Joseph and immorality of Judah
  • Identified by a worn token
  • Joseph was also represented as dead to his father by his coat in Genesis 37
  • Joseph's story is paralleled in Egyptian Tale of Two Brothers, Anubis and Bata
