Genesis 41:45 says, “And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.” I have read a lot of Egyptian Mythology and can tell you that there is no god called On in their mythos. Nothing even comes close. This whole chapter where Joseph is in Egypt is written like the writer knows nothing of Egyptian culture and is just making things up to fit a story. There isn’t even mention of a town or village named “On”. I am trying to remain impartial but this makes it very hard to keep in the middle road.
