    Description

    Who was Asenath?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Asenath was an Egyptian woman who became the wife of Joseph, the son of Israel (or 'Jacob'), during his rise to power in Egypt. She was the daughter of Potiphera, a priest of On (Heliopolis), and was given to Joseph by Pharaoh as a wife when he was appointed as the second-in-command over Egypt. Asenath bore Joseph two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, who would later become the patriarchs of two of the twelve tribes of Israel. As the wife of Joseph and the mother of two important tribal leaders, Asenath played a significant role in the history of Israel, despite her Egyptian background.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Asenath 6 of 6 entities the graph connects to Asenath, in 2 groups: kinship 4, events 2. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.JosephPartner of · 3 events · 197 versesEphraimMother of · 159 versesManassehMother of · 112 versesPotipheraChild of · 3 versesKinshipEgypt1 event · 649 versesPharaoh1 event · 70 versesEventsAsenath

    The pattern

    Where Asenath is named

    Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.

    Asenath is named in 3 verses — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
