Wife of Joseph given to him by Pharaoh, when Joseph was 2nd in command in Egypt at age 40.
Asenath, an Egyptian name implying, “one who belongs to Neit the heathen goddess of wisdom, of Sais.”
Genesis 41:45 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.
Genesis 41:50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
Genesis 46:20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
Joseph’s marriage was a diplomatic arrangement, designated by Pharaoh to place him inside a strictly delineated, aristocratic society, and thus to convert him into a naturalized Egyptian. But by becoming son-in-law to Potipherah, Joseph became involved in Egyptian idolatry and became a member of a caste which borrowed all of its prestige from that idolatry.
