Who was potiphon?
Potiphon does not exist. You prabably mean Potiphar, who was Pharoah's butcher in the story of Joseph. When Joseph arrived in Egypt as a slave he was sold to Potiphar. Potiphar liked Joseph and made him head slave, but Potiphar's wife was jealous, and tricked Potiphar into throwing Joseph in jail.
What part of Potiphar's life did he let Joseph run?
Potiphar promoted Joseph a couple of times, as alluded to in the wording of Genesis 39. At first, Joseph was put among the field-workers. Later, he was promoted to be one of the household staff. Still later, he was made one of Potiphar's personal manservants; and finally, Joseph was made the one who ran the entire house. See also:More about Joseph
