Yosef and the Master's Wife

Rabbi Gad Dishi

Why does Potifar’s Wife only make her advance “after these things”? What function does this perek serve in the macro story of Yosef and his brothers? A slew of fascinating literary and structural analysis refocuses our attention away from the realm of romantic relationships; instead, we become aware of a battleground for power. Yosef’s stance will prove to be far more calculated and even more admirable than meets the eye.
