question about Asenath (sp?)
was his wife really the niece of the lady who accused him and her husband who sent Joseph to jail?
If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it copy this and make it your signature!
In a word no.
Asenath was the daughter of the priest Potiphera (not Potiphar) from Heliopolis (On) and was given to him (as his wife) as a gift from Pharoah from interpreting his dreams about the cows and the ears of corn. (Genesis 41:45) This passage is the first time she is mentioned in the bible. The other occurances happen when she gives birth to Manasseh and Ephraim (depending on which version of the bible you read: NIV or King James, etc) and is mentioned as part of Jacob's tribe/family (Genesis 46:19).
The events in Potiphar's house are in Genesis 39 and is in the prison during Genesis 40. This is well before when Asenath is given to Joseph as his wife.
True, but I like how she was made a more important character than that in this movie.
Intelligence and purity.
