also: Potiphera
Potiphera is named as Asenath's father and as priest of On in Genesis.
Potiphera in the Bible is the priest of On and the father of Asenath, whom Pharaoh gave to Joseph as a wife (Genesis 41:45). Genesis names Potiphera in at least three verses, all in Genesis. The text again identifies Asenath as his daughter when it says she bore two sons to Joseph before the famine year (Genesis 41:50). Those sons are named Manasseh and Ephraim in Genesis 46:20.
