Was Potiphar a eunuch?
Well, yes and no....the Hebrew word for eunuch was 'saris'. It meant a 'court official', and THIS, Potiphar certainly was. However, often, the word eunuch referred to a 'court official' who had been castrated, usually because his job entailed caring for the women in a king's harem. In Potiphar's case, he was the chief of the body guard, nothing to do with the harems, and he was not a eunuch in that physical sense. For one thing, he was a married man. Genesis 39:1-9. (Another reference to a 'court official'(eunuch/'saris') who was NOT castrated was the Ethiopian Eunuch at Acts 8:27-39. He had been a Jewish proselyte, worshiping at the Temple in Jerusalem, and could therefore NOT have been castrated(Deuteronomy 23:1). He was just a court official (a man in power)under the rulership of Candace the Queen.
What happened in Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch?
Philip was sent by God to the Ethiopian who was studying the bible. Philip went up to him and asked what he was reading and the Ethiopian answered that he didn't know.

How many years between Isaiah and the Ethiopian who read Isaiah's words?
The book of Isaiah was written between 701 and 683 BC. The Ethiopian eunuch read the passage around 35-38 AD. So it would have been 720-740 years.
