Listen "Potiphar's Hill"
Episode Synopsis
In the first chapter of the Book of Abraham, the priest of Pharaoh offered sacrifices on an altar "by the hill called Potiphar's Hill" (Abraham 1:10). This episode discusses the site of Potiphar's Hill as a cult center. Sites like this are known to have existed across the ancient Near East, and the little we know about Potiphar's Hill from the Book of Abraham appears to fit the pattern of ancient ritual complexes.
