ASENATH,
Daughter of Potiphar or Potiphera, and wife of Joseph, prime minister to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is supposed by some to be the daughter of the same Potiphar, whose wife had caused Joseph's imprisonment, and that Asenath had endeared herself to Joseph by taking his part in his adversity and vindicating him to her father.
