Asenath

Asenath became the wife of Joseph while he served in the Pharaoh's court. Pharoah himself may have arranged this marriage to help Joseph adjust to life in Egypt. They had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. She was the daughter of Poti-Pherah, the high priest of the Egyptian temple of On. Her name means, "belonging to the goddess of Nath."

Read about her in Genesis 41:45, 50; 46:20.
