Joseph Was Not Imhotep, and Nathan Can't Spell - Faith and Other Oddities Episode 32

You can watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/ybmO5JTSEKM

There are a lot of wild stories that have grown up around the Bible. This week we discuss one that claims the Joseph was the person who became the Egyptian god Imhotep, and then we discuss all the reasons that it is cannot be true. We also discuss how Jewish scholars tried to make Joseph’s marriage to an Egyptian woman more palatable by claiming that she was the daughter of Dinah, and how when that didn’t work they rewrote the stories to present her as an exemplary convert to Judaism.
