On or Heliopolis of the North was founded by their Anu ancestors who worshiped Ra and Horus. The Horite rulers practiced endogamy, that is, they married both within their clans and with members of related Horite clans. All the Horite clans were related. Potifer and Jacob were blood relatives.<br /><br />Abraham's ruler status was recognized by Pharaoh. That is the only way that Abraham could have had a personal audience with Pharaoh. All the rulers of the Nile followed the religion of Horus. Each received a Horus name as part of their many titles when they ascended to the throne.<br /><br />Abraham had a face-to-face audience with Pharaoh, the most powerful ruler on earth at that time. This tell us that Abraham was of a recognized royal family. Genesis indicates that his father, Terah, ruled over a territory that extended between Ur and Haran in Mesopotamia. However, Terah was a descendant of Nimrod, a Kushite. Nimrod was the son the Nilotic ruler, Kush (Genesis 10:8). As the word "Terah" means "priest" we may assume that Abraham was of the Horite ruler-priest lineage. These rulers married half-sisters (the first wife) and patrilineal cousins (the second wife).

The name is a title, as is evident from the Potiphar Stela in the Cairo Museum. It dates to the 21st Dynasty (ca. 1070–945 BC). The stela has this designation "Putiphar son of Ankh-Hor" and indicates that Potifer was among the Horites, the priest devotees of Re, Horus, and Hathor.<br /><br />The more likely form of the title is Po-tifra, based on a reference in Proverbs 8:33 - "Listen to my instruction and become wise. Don't change the order." Rabbi Ibn Erza says that al-tifra-u means "don't change the order." This makes sense, giving the context. So Potifra suggests a priest whose responsibility it is not to change the received tradition.<br /><br />The title Pharoah refers to the ruler's house and dynasty. It is derived from the very ancient root pr (piru), meaning house. O-piru means Sun house. Here the O is a solar image.<br /> Alice C.
