Discussion Questions
  1. Why does Scripture leave Potiphar's true beliefs unstated, and how does that shape the way we read this account?
  2. How does Joseph's response to injustice challenge modern expectations of fairness and immediate vindication?
  3. How does this passage help believers trust God when human authority acts imperfectly?
