Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of Egyptian originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Asenath, as her story and name are specific to the Hebrew Bible and do not appear in the Greek New Testament. However, her story is part of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, where her name is transliterated similarly. Usage: Asenath is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Asenath is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, known primarily as the wife of Joseph, the son of Jacob, and the mother of Manasseh and Ephraim. Her story is found in the Book of Genesis. Asenath was the daughter of Potiphera, a priest of On, an ancient Egyptian city. Her marriage to Joseph is mentioned in Genesis 41:45, where Pharaoh gives her to Joseph as a wife after he interprets Pharaoh's dreams and is appointed as a ruler over Egypt. This union is significant as it symbolizes Joseph's integration into Egyptian society and his rise to power. Asenath's name is of Egyptian origin, reflecting the cultural and religious milieu of her background. The marriage produced two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, who would later become patriarchs of two of the tribes of Israel. Asenath's role, though not extensively detailed in the biblical narrative, is crucial in the lineage and heritage of the Israelites.
